This past year has highlighted that a focus on doctors’ health is vital for the delivery of high quality, safe health care for our community. Supporting the health of doctors benefits the individual doctor, their health care team and the patients they care for.
Building on our previous learnings and recent experiences, this New Horizon Forum focuses on establishing strong leadership across the profession with the aim of improving the health of doctors and medical students in Queensland. Previous forums have explored the health issues experienced by doctors, the difficulties in help-seeking and recognised the need for cultural and organisational change.
Leadership is the key to enabling positive change. Leadership enables the individual to be proactive in their care and reduces stigma. Leadership provides health care teams with interventions that suit the workplace needs. Leadership ensures that robust policies are in place and implemented so that grassroots desire for cultural change is embedded into routine practices. Building on a foundation of research evidence and experience in caring for doctors, together we can establish the compassionate leadership we need for our doctors now and into the future. Please join us at this important doctors’ health event for 2021.
Keynote speakers include:
Dr Jillann Farmer, Deputy Director -General of Clinical Excellence
Dr Bethan Richards, Chief Medical Wellness Officer
Dr Caroline Walker, The Joyful Doctor
