Abstract

The second edition of this well-received text advocates for a transformational change in the way doctors protect their mental health, look out for their colleagues, co-create a kinder, more humane work culture and lead health system reform. Offering practical strategies and real solutions, based both on medical literature and the wisdom of experienced doctors, the new edition reimagines healthcare, where every doctor is encouraged and supported to: 

Prioritise psychological wellbeing and physical protection 

Promote healthy workplace cultures, fairness and safety 

Build strong relationships by sharing challenges 

Save lives through medical co-leadership 

Rediscover the joy in medicine 

Brimming with poignant and hopeful stories and quotes from a diverse array of doctors from many different specialities and at all career stages, the book is a celebration of the growing global interconnectedness and the changing face of the medical profession. An invaluable support and companion for those in the early years of medicine, Every Doctor is a must-read for all doctors across all specialties and wherever they practise in the world, because exemplary care of patients, peers, profession and self is a lifelong journey.
