Description
A book of stories, quotes, vignettes, ideas, that provide useful tools for making working as a healthcare worker more creative, more productive, more sustainable, more enjoyable. A comforting survival guide.
Doctors can often experience a loss of sense of purpose, of not being the kind of doctor that they wanted to be. Feeling so caught up in protocols and guidelines can lead to losing a sense of self, of who you are and what you can contribute.
The Doctor's Wellbeing Toolkit offers ways in which doctors can enjoy their work and be themselves. In order to look after others, we need to look after ourselves. The coronavirus pandemic has required new levels of dedication and commitment, and the impact on health professionals working through it has been immense. This toolkit will offer support and guidance for how to approach life on the frontline. Each chapter focuses on a tool, such as Compassion; Curiosity; Racism Awareness, and weaves in stories, either from the author's experience or from the lives of other doctors. The toolkit provides practical and compassionate strategies for making healthcare work more creative, productive, sustainable and enjoyable. The Doctor's Wellbeing Toolkit offers tools to help doctors thrive.

Person
Lesley worked as a GP for 25 years. She believes that the role of a doctor is to promote holistic health care and to engage with the wider issues which affect health. She has a longstanding interest in the role of medical humanities in medical education and clinical care, and she is co-editor of Tools of the Trade, a book of poetry gifted to all Scottish medical graduates with the aim of offering support and nurturing creativity. She strongly believes that, in order to care for others, doctors need to care for themselves, and this has never been more true.
