Burnout in healthcare.

In the last 10 years, 50,000 articles have been printed about burnout.

As healthcare workers, we are exposed to an enormous emotional toll.

We need a plan to look after our wellbeing and we need to start thinking about it now.

Surround yourself with people you can trust and do things to boost your happiness.

Most importantly, work with your team. If a team member needs to be covered, cover them. One day you may need covering too.
