Self-health check

We have a responsibility to maintain our physical and mental health so we can practise safely and effectively (see principle 7 in our codes of conduct). 

Making time to look after ourselves can be challenging when you are always looking after others. When was the last time you paused to check in with yourself? 

Use our simple tool to check in with your emotional, psychological and physical health. It's not a diagnostic test, it's a starting point for reflection, awareness and change. 

Pause and answer these questions to identify your health priorities

Question 1 (energy levels)

Do you feel physically or mentally drained more often than not?

Question 2 (emotional wellbeing)

Have you been feeling detached, overwhelmed, or irritable?

Question 3 (work or study engagement)

Are you struggling to find motivation or satisfaction in your daily work or studies?

Question 4 (physical wellbeing)

Are you experiencing headaches, muscle tension, poor sleep or other physical signs of stress?

Question 5 (self-care and balance)

Do you consistently neglect self-care or find it hard to say "no" to others' demands?

Question 6 (focus and clarity)

Are you finding it hard to concentrate or make decisions?

Question 7 (sense of accomplishment)

Do you feel ineffective, undervalued, or that you're not making a difference?
