We’re looking for a Social Media Volunteer!

Rufayda – Care for Healthcare exists for the people who hold up our health system. The doctors, nurses, and caregivers running on empty. We tell their stories, fight burnout, and build a culture that finally cares for its carers.

Now we want help getting that message to more people — and that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for someone who loves social media to help us grow our community across platforms.

You should have: a good eye for social media and be familiar with the social media algorithm, basic Canva skills, and a creative, reliable, mission-driven spirit. You don’t need to be an expert, just willing to learn.

It’s flexible, remote, and only a few hours a week.

If this sounds like you, email us at [email protected] with your updated CV, 3 sample posts, and an email body mentioning why you want to work with Rufayda.

Can an international framework for compassionate leadership actually work in Pakistan?

In a healthcare system shaped by high workloads, limited resources, and stretched teams, what does compassionate leadership look like when the pressures are very real and often very different? Can compassion coexist with constraints? Can leadership make a difference when teams are already stretched thin?

Prof. Michael West CBE has spent decades exploring these very intersections through his work on team effectiveness, leadership, organisational culture and wellbeing in healthcare, and through the Compassionate Leadership framework he pioneered.

That’s why we’re bringing this conversation forward to explore what compassionate leadership could look like within the realities of Pakistani healthcare.

The framework may be international. But the context is deeply local. Join us for the conversation on Sept 4.

What if we stopped asking healthcare workers to simply be more resilient?

Burnout isn’t just a word or a definition. It has a human cost. And when the same sacrifices, missed moments, and exhaustion become part of the everyday experience of healthcare workers, we have to ask ourselves:

Can we really solve burnout by simply asking individuals to be more resilient?

Perhaps the conversation needs to go beyond the individual — to the teams, cultures, and systems that shape the way healthcare is experienced and delivered.

In healthcare, compassion cannot stop at the patient. It has to extend to the people who care for them — and to the environments we create for them to work in.

The people behind healthcare deserve leadership that helps them thrive.

It’s an idea at the heart of Prof. Michael West CBE’s work.

A Professor of Work & Organisational Psychology at Lancaster University, Prof. Michael West CBE is the originator of the Compassionate Leadership framework. He has spent decades exploring teamwork, leadership, culture and wellbeing in healthcare.

He is the author of Compassionate Leadership and has written 20 books and 200+ published articles on these and related areas.

On 4 September, we’ll have the opportunity to hear directly from him and explore what these ideas can mean for healthcare teams.

Some conversations are worth making space for.

We’re bringing one of them to Rufayda — a conversation about leadership, compassion, burnout, and the people behind healthcare.

On 4 September, we’re honoured to welcome Prof. Michael West CBE, a globally recognised authority on compassionate leadership, for Leading with Compassion: Protecting Healthcare Teams from Burnout.

For the first time, Prof. West will be speaking directly with Pakistan’s healthcare community, exploring what compassionate leadership can look like within our own healthcare context.

His work on leadership, teamwork and staff wellbeing has influenced healthcare thinking and policy internationally. Now, we’re bringing that conversation home.

We’ll explore the ideas, challenge some of the assumptions around burnout, and leave space for your questions and experiences.

A room full of people who spend their days caring for hearts, taking a moment to talk about what happens when they themselves begin to feel worn out.

We spent time with the team at Tabba Heart Institute for a Burnout Awareness Session, looking beyond the word “burnout” and into what it can actually look like in everyday working life.

From recognising early warning signs to understanding the pressures that quietly accumulate over time, the session was an opportunity to pause and take stock.

Thank you to the Tabba Heart Institute team for having us and for bringing such openness to the discussion.

One conversation won’t solve burnout. But recognising it is a place to start.

A Rufayda take on a trend we couldn’t resist 😁

Because caring for the people who care for everyone else? Very chic, if you ask us! 🫶🏻

Money is part of our professional lives too even if we don’t always talk about it.

That’s what we explored in The Stethoscope’s Purse: the questions around earning, spending, saving, investing, and making financial decisions that come with being a healthcare professional.

It was an evening of unpacking some of those questions, making sense of the basics, and having a conversation that many of us don’t get to have during medical training or in the workplace.

A big thank you to Miss Ayman Tauqir from Al Meezan Investments for leading the session with such clarity and making a complex subject feel practical, approachable, and relevant to our everyday lives.

A few glimpses from an evening dedicated to something we spend years working for, but rarely learn how to plan for.
