Physician, heal thyself! How the medical professions, including dentists and vets, are working towards a better understanding of the stress their jobs cause so they can manage and prevent career burnout.
Dr Fiona Moir is a Senior Lecturer in Mental Health and Communication Skills -- and also a Director of Medical Student Affairs in the medical programme at the University of Auckland. She has done extensive research into burnout - how to spot it, prevent it and manage it.
Her company, Connect Communications, runs workshops to teach health professionals how to talk to their patients, their colleagues and learn self-compassion. She joins Kathryn to talk about the recent moves by the health professions to better support themselves and each other.
