About this course
Revive and Thrive is a 2-day team-building and wellbeing course designed to revitalise healthcare teams through professional development, human factors training, and resilience strategies. Delivered by Endeavour Medical, the course is tailored for foundation doctors, residents, and senior doctors, with content adapted to suit participants' career stage. It is recognised as a Category 3 course in Southwest and Severn Deanery.
The course combines simulation-based training in out-of-hospital scenarios with workshops, lectures, and open discussions held in a beautiful outdoor setting. The programme uses Crew Resource Management (CRM) and teamwork exercises as a vehicle to foster connections and create an open forum for discussion. Wellbeing is woven throughout: participants engage in open discussions during every session, evening meals and campfire chats enable reconnection with colleagues, and extracurricular activities including yoga, nature walks, and kayaking are integrated into the programme.
The teaching is led by experienced faculty from Endeavour Medical who are familiar with principles of good supervision and can complete work-based assessments undertaken during the course, including CEX and CBD. The course is fully aligned to UK Foundation Training and postgraduate specialty training curricula, covering clinical assessment and prioritisation, communication skills, leadership, fitness for practice (wellbeing), ethical and legal principles, and health promotion.
