Doctors' health and wellbeing

Healthy doctors ensure a sustainable workforce that provides best patient care. We are committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of our fellows, trainees and specialist international medical graduates throughout all stages of their career.

We support a number of services and initiatives which are underpinned by our commitment outlined in our Doctors' Health and Wellbeing Framework.
