Too often, burnout is treated as a personal problem or reduced to internal issues within an organisation. But this narrow focus overlooks something vital: organisations don’t exist in a vacuum. They are shaped—and strained—by constant pressures from the outside world.This talk introduces a new way of thinking about burnout, using an open systems theory approach. It explores how broader forces—like political shifts, economic instability, technological change, and even climate anxiety—shape the way we work and how we feel at work. These environmental factors are usually on the periphery of workplace wellbeing research, but they are central to understanding why burnout happens and why it persists.By broadening the lens beyond the walls of the organisation, this talk aims to move burnout research beyond measurement and towards meaningful solutions that reflect the complex world we work in. It positions burnout as a symptom not just of organisational dysfunction, but of systemic misalignment between people, workplaces, and their broader environments.Can technology transform dementia?A talk by Professor Arlene Astell, Department of Psychology.Research Area: Ageing, dementia, technologyThe North East and North Cumbria (NENC) Integrated Care System has the highest proportion of people living with dementia in England. Dementia describes a range of brain conditions that affect thinking and everyday behaviour. Dementia gets worse over time and there is currently no cure. Existing technology could support thinking and behaviour and connect people with dementia to services. But there is currently no joined up support system for dementia and people do not know how to find helpful technology. TEDI is a new network in NENC to address these problems. TEDI is taking a big picture approach looking at technology from the perspective of individuals AND the system they live in. We will address gaps in the current system by identifying what, when, where, and how technology can fit into people’s lives with dementia. We will also consider who should provide, pay for and support technology. We will do this through local technology hubs in NENC communities where people can try technologies and share their views on what they need. This Lit and Phil session will explain our TEDI plans and how people can get involved to shape a new way of living with dementia.A LIVE Lit & Phil Event | FREE(If you would prefer to book directly over the phone, please call the Library Desk team on 0191 232 0192 and they will be happy to help)Memory | Image source copyright free from UnSplash - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/newcastle-upon-tyne/nu-ideas-season-4-talk-2-burnout-and-dementia-technology/100001813843297129 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Newcastle Upon Tyne - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Lit & Phil - **lat**: 54.9694099 - **long**: -1.614005 - **full address**: The Lit & Phil, 23 Westgate Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: NU Ideas | Season 4 Talk 2 | Burnout and Dementia Technology - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/df05d4db890fe1035d8535a65517ea62a7f3daf0caec0e4087361ded66dc99d0-rimg-w900-h600-dc14372e-gmir.jpg?v=1760652188 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is NU Ideas | Season 4 Talk 2 | Burnout and Dementia Technology being held? - **A:** NU Ideas | Season 4 Talk 2 | Burnout and Dementia Technology takes place on Mon, 08 Dec, 2025 at 06:00 pm to Mon, 08 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm at The Lit & Phil, 23 Westgate Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing NU Ideas | Season 4 Talk 2 | Burnout and Dementia Technology? - **A:** NU Ideas | Season 4 Talk 2 | Burnout and Dementia Technology is organized by The Lit and Phil. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "NU Ideas | Season 4 Talk 2 | Burnout and Dementia Technology", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/df05d4db890fe1035d8535a65517ea62a7f3daf0caec0e4087361ded66dc99d0-rimg-w900-h600-dc14372e-gmir.jpg?v=1760652188", "startDate": "2025-12-08", "endDate": "2025-12-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/newcastle-upon-tyne/nu-ideas-season-4-talk-2-burnout-and-dementia-technology/100001813843297129", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "The Lit & Phil", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "23 Westgate Road", "postalCode": "NE1 1SE", "addressLocality": "Newcastle Upon Tyne", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "54.9694099", "longitude": "-1.614005" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "This second talk looks at Why Burnout won’t go away and Can technology transform dementia?", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-10-13", "availabilityEnds": "2025-12-08", "validFrom": "2026-10-13", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/newcastle-upon-tyne/nu-ideas-season-4-talk-2-burnout-and-dementia-technology/100001813843297129" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-10-13", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-10-13", "url": "https://allevents.in/newcastle-upon-tyne/nu-ideas-season-4-talk-2-burnout-and-dementia-technology/100001813843297129", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Lit and Phil", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/the-lit-and-phil/19029843", "description": "The Lit & Phil is a beautiful independent library and educational charity, opened in 1825.
