A clinical skill — not a wellness add-on

Built for the realities of general practice.

Mindfulness and conscious breathing are evidence-based clinical tools. We've designed each program around three things that matter to working GPs.

For You

Reset between patients in under 2 minutes

Practical micro-techniques you can use during a clinical day — not just at home, not just on weekends. Reduce the carryover that follows you home.

For Patients

Use it with confidence in the consult room

Optional patient-facing scripts and reporting templates so you can teach mindfulness and breathing techniques to patients — already part of what many GPs are doing informally.

For CPD

Cover the hardest hours to find

Including the full 17.5 Measuring Outcomes requirement on the full program — the category most GPs struggle to complete each year.

Choose your starting point

Three ways to begin.

The science is specific to you.

Not generic wellness content adapted for medicine — drawn directly from studies in primary care and healthcare settings.

RCT — Primary Care

A pilot RCT in primary care physicians found a brief mindfulness curriculum led to significant improvements in burnout, stress, and emotional exhaustion — with most physicians maintaining their practice at 3-month follow-up.

RCT — Healthcare

An 8-week MBSR randomised controlled trial with healthcare professionals found significant reductions in stress and burnout — 88% showed improved stress scores and significant increases in self-compassion across the group.

What your colleagues are saying.

"This is a great way to receive 32 CPD hours. It was easy, enjoyable and above all I found it really useful in everyday practice."

Dr Julie Kidd · GP

"Present Sense has given me the practical skills to calm my mind and body on a daily basis. Within the first few videos, I was already noticing how much tension and stress I was able to release."
