Chronic Fatigue Stress

Top Rated5(1 reviews)

Chronic Fatigue Stress is a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course designed to provide healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of chronic fatigue, stress-related exhaustion, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The course explores the biological, psychological, behavioural, and social factors associated with persistent fatigue and examines practical approaches to assessment, diagnosis, management, and patient support. Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms encountered in healthcare practice and may occur as a temporary response to illness, stress, lifestyle factors, or chronic medical conditions. However, persistent or disabling fatigue can significantly impair physical functioning, emotional wellbeing, work capacity, and quality of life. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a recognised chronic condition involving prolonged fatigue that is not fully relieved by rest and may worsen following exertion.
