Redeployment has become a common reality for many healthcare workers as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has put their resiliency and adaptability to the test. It has challenged both educators and learners to work outside of their comfort zones, and learn many new skills. This can be quite overwhelming, and at times, our healthcare workers may feel the pressures to learn things quickly and for some, may lose their sense of place and purpose when entering into these new environments. We will be discussing the importance of having the right education to succeed in redeployment, how to stay resilient during hard times, and maintain a sense of purpose. Finally, we will also share our stories and experiences in redeployment, to hopefully give you more insight and encouragement.
