Burnout has become a much-used term and can get dismissed as another health buzzword –
but its impact is real. Burnout rates among GPs are increasing. Emotional exhaustion, reduced
empathy, negativity and questioning whether the job is worth it can be the results of persistent and
unrelenting stress.
This engaging and interactive session will focus on the importance of authentic peer-to-peer
connections as a successful tool for recognising the early warning signs of burnout and for preventing
and reducing the impacts.
The session will discuss how to recognise the different signs of burnout and encourage attendees to
identify how it may be impacting their own sense of health and wellbeing. Attendees will also have the
opportunity for reflection and to meaningfully connect with colleagues to practise skills and techniques
to identify, prevent or combat burnout.
