Maintaining the wellbeing of clinicians

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Burnout is a severe form of stress, characterised by emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and a low sense of personal accomplishment, that is prevalent among front line care clinicians and trainees. As well as the personal costs, it has implications for the quality of patient care. The papers reviewed here cover the causes and effective ways to intervene (either by preventive or remedial means) to address burnout and build resilience (enhanced capacity to deal with stress) throughout the career trajectory of trainees and experienced health professionals.
