A GP partner is juggling her work and parenting responsibilities - as well as arranging care for her ageing mother - and feels ‘like she is missing symptoms’. A locum GP has back pain, but fears that his relationship with those he works for might be jeopardised if he asks for suitable adaptations. A salaried GP is experiencing mental health problems, but fears that disclosure might mean she ‘loses her role’.
Experienced GP appraiser Dr Ravi Ramanathan discusses each of these scenarios with MIMS Learning editor Pat Anderson, and recommends action that the GPs concerned could take, to look after themselves and to avoid burnout.
