Helping you take care of your own physical, mental, emotional and social health
Your career in general practice will be rewarding and fulfilling as you contribute to the good health of your patients and community. However, being a GP can also be challenging and stressful, especially during the early years of your career.<
This can contribute to high rates of depression, anxiety and other mental health problems among doctors, and that medical professionals can be reluctant to access mental health services.
We encourage you to take care of your own physical, mental, emotional and social health and seek support when you need it. We’ve developed a range of events, resources and services to help GPs manage their self-care and mental wellbeing.
