Athol Hann, RN: Experienced critical care nurse, well-being and mindfulness advocate

Athol Hann has worked as a nurse for over 12 years in several environments, but his passion is in emergency and intensive care. Right now, he’s a nurse educator on a medical ward in a 300-bed hospital in Northern Australia. After a difficult experience with burnout that caused him to leave the field for a few years to be a dairy farmer, Hann got into entrepreneurship hoping to support other nurses through burnout. He founded Fwards in 2018 - an app soon-to-be-available in the States - to create sustainable behaviour change within the healthcare industry, and provide on the ground support and resources to health professionals to drive positive engagement.
