The overspill of everything tends to land up with the trainees, and the trainees tend to be the ones that get sent to do the extra work or that pick up extra things and find it hard, maybe, to say no because they're being assessed all the time.
Feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of medical training? This episode of the Practitioner Health Wellbeing Podcast is a must-listen. The mental health leads from the Trainee Doctors and Dentists Support Service (TDDSS) – Simon Lyne, Ruth Deighton, and Jenny Keen – come together to tackle the myths and misconceptions that often prevent trainee doctors and dentists from seeking help.
With a friendly and open conversation, they share their own experiences working with healthcare trainees and emphasize the importance of taking that first step towards getting support. Confidentiality is a big concern for many when it comes to seeking mental health support, and the hosts make it clear that this is a cornerstone of TDDSS and Practitioner Health's services. They delve into what TDDSS offers, from psychoeducation to confidential support, and how it seamlessly integrates with Practitioner Health.
By breaking down these barriers, they hope to encourage more trainees to reach out for the help they need. Whether you're a trainee doctor or dentist feeling the weight of your responsibilities or someone interested in the mental well-being of healthcare professionals, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice. It's not just about understanding the importance of seeking help but also about making it easier for those in high-stress environments to access the support they deserve.
