Burnout is an occupational phenomenon caused by organisational, environmental or systemic issues
in the workplace. A recent survey of 3000 doctors in the Sydney Local Health District showed that
burnout affected 78% of junior doctors.
This workshop explores the development of a parallel curriculum which can be incorporated into the
out of practice workshops through GPT1 and GPT2. It will consider the available evidence to support
development of strategies to improve wellbeing and prevent burnout in GP registrars through small
group work, positive leadership, facilitated debrief sessions and social/peer connection.
This session will describe and evaluate the sessions and strategies used within the Melbourne West
Metro Local workshops and provide an opportunity for the group to explore successful actions
implemented within other training programs and at a practice level to support junior and newly
fellowed GPs.
