The Wellbeing Charter for Doctors was created by medical colleges to signify the importance of the role that such colleges, hospitals and health jurisdictions have to play to support doctors and ensure that they have the opportunity to prioritise their physical and mental wellbeing.

It is important that doctors thrive in all aspects of life, not only in medicine, and this is a key principle of the charter.  The charter is only the beginning of work on shining a spotlight on doctors’ wellbeing. It was created to start conversations about wellbeing amongst doctors themselves, and their supervisors and managers, and to demonstrate a unified approach to doctors’ wellbeing.

We speak to Dr Ruth Bollard, Chair of the RACS Wellbeing Working Group, and Dr Eric Levi, a member of the working group. Dr Bollard and Dr Levi are both passionate advocates for shining the spotlight on doctors’ wellbeing.
