Very many colleagues, and I myself, feel that by attributing the illness of burnout to low personal resilience is to unfairly put the responsibility on us as individual healthcare professionals, rather than the wider system, which is arguably to blame, and we should be forced to change, rather than making us just thicken our skin and become more resilient.
Burnout is a common yet often misunderstood issue in the healthcare world. In this episode of the Practitioner Health Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Adam Harrison, who wears many hats as a GP, barrister, educator, and coach, dives into this pressing topic. With personal experience of burnout twice in his career, Dr Harrison brings a wealth of knowledge and empathy to the discussion.
He sheds light on what burnout really means – that overwhelming feeling of running on empty and struggling to perform your duties effectively. But why is burnout so rampant among healthcare professionals? Dr Harrison argues that it's not just about personal resilience. Instead, he believes the system itself needs to change to better support those on the front lines. This episode goes beyond just identifying the problem; it offers practical solutions.
Dr Harrison shares tips on integrating self-care into daily routines and emphasizes the importance of recognizing the value of one’s work. Whether you're a healthcare worker grappling with burnout or someone interested in understanding this critical issue, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable advice.
