I was a doctor. Then burnout and mental illness happened. Devastated & ashamed, I left medicine. Now, I'm in a national leadership role, Using my experience to influence the culture & systems in which we work Life happens, It's what we do with these experiences that matters.
What’s your anchor? What’s your keel? What stabilises you? What keeps you grounded?
Learning to say No has been key to recovering from burnout. Shaking off the guilt, Moving on from the sense of failure... Because boundaries create a sustainable career, And losing them has repercussions.
I was a doctor when I burntout. Broken. A shell of who I was before. A slippery slope into mental illness. I left medicine. Tears. Anger. Grief. In doing so I realised Medicine is part of me. And I won't let the system stop me from doing what I love. Here's to my journey!
Burnout & mental illness are now an industrial hazard of working as a doctor. We all know it. We must invest in changing systems and culture in order to improve doctors' wellbeing. Waiting until people get sick is not OK.

A little note from my daughter. She is 10. We talk about doctors' mental health. She gets it. @anna_annabav you'll like this.
“Hard to reach” “Disengaged” “Being difficult” “Not responding” - terms also used to describe doctor engagement in change initiatives. It seems that whenever people (be they patients or colleagues) don't follow the script we want, we label and blame. Maybe it's not them at all!

Last night after watching a group of my medical peers behaving really badly toward each other in a meeting, I did something different. I didn't really know many of them. They we're mostly much older and male. I stood up & called it out.
Great to hear @RANZCP trainee @benbravery speak at the @sasmoa4doctors #CrazySocks4Docs breakfast this morning about looking out for each other, #leadership and being a doctor patient as well as the fulfilment of working as a psychiatrist. Got the hashtag right this time!
@mbismark The systems need to be addressed rather than individuals. While we all have an individual responsibility for our wellbeing that is not enough when our environment and the systems are not resilient or adequate.

Hey—if you’re a med student who got an email today saying you didn’t #match or a program director whose program didn’t fill, let me say this: 1. You’re still awesome. 2. It will be okay. 3. I’m sorry you had to experience this. These 3, but the greatest of these is #1.
It is heartbreaking to have a consultant colleague in tears on the phone for an hour because they are being bullied and harassed by another consultant. They are telling me they have nothing left… a nobody. This is totally sick. Where is RESPECT🙏#NHS
If you could work in any kind of shop and got a discount, what would it be?
Once, l heard a colleague refer to a mother with anxiety as "high maintenance". Another described an angry father as "psycho" An anorexic girl as "manipulative" I internalised these phrases. Came to believe them to be true about myself. Self stigma. Remember, words matter.
My daughter's surgery taught me about fear. About how helpless and afraid our patients & their relatives can feel. So sit with them, and listen. Because, your kindness is what they will remember.
If you're a health professional feeling overwhelmed, anxious, dreading going into work... Tell someone. You're not alone. Help is available. And asking for it is not a failure. @NHSPracHealth @DoctorsDistress
This is my story. One of #mentalillness as a doctor. Because it's time we talk about it. Doctors get sick. And with support, they get better. @RCPCHtweets #Milestones @DoctorsDistress @youokaydoc @Liz_ORiordan @DrSdeG @DrLindaDykes @drpeterdonnelly @andrewjtagg @MsBethanJ
Changing hospitals/departments can feel overwhelming. New people, places, systems, policies... Check in with the new doctors. Be kind. Be welcoming. Be the colleague you wish you'd had. #MedTwitter #juniordoctors
Recovery from mental illness is not linear. It takes time and space. The bad days become fewer. I promise.

YES! Send in the efficiency of practice improvement teams to support our work units deliver best care. Give them minutes back in the day, time to care, time to connect with each other, + workflows where time is spent on tasks they were actually trained for #MDOK
The best antidote to burnout is not teaching people coping skills to handle stress. It's redesigning work to reduce stress. The cure for exhaustion is removing overwhelming demands and the norm of self-sacrifice. Healthy workplaces value well-being as much as performance.
In 2019, I left medicine. A story of burnout & mental illness. I retrained as a primary teacher (as you do!), But felt lost. Because, it turns out, Being a doctor was a huge part of my identity... Sometimes stepping aways allows you to appreciate what you had before.
I was a hospital children's doctor before I got sick. Burnout and mental illness Never would I ever have dreamed that I'd be recording podcasts, speaking at conferences & leading change in the field of doctors' wellbeing. Life throws things at you. Use those things for good.
In medicine, We have pathologised the concept of vulnerability, Like somehow, expressing our own emotions as a doctor shows weakness, An expectation that we just crack on with the job. In reality, emotion is integral to care giving, So let's create spaces to talk about it.
Taking a moment with my girls to pause and breathe... And hoping to model that creativity isn't about achieving, It's about being. Simply being.
Fantastic news!!!!!! Amazingly, my latest MRI brain scan shows no recurrence 10 months since my #glioblastoma presented with a seizure in #Poland. Median time to recurrence is 6 months. I’m extremely hopeful that the novel #neoadjuvant combination #immunotherapy I’ve had &…
Lately, I've been guilty of turning my laptop on early. Cracking on with emails etc Today, I went for a walk instead. I have to say... It was a much better choice!
I am a paediatrician. But I am also A wife A mother A daughter A sister And a friend It's too easy to lose ourselves to medicine. To define ourselves by our role. Being a doctor is part of me, But it is not all of me, And the choices I make have to reflect that.
Likewise, I have also had the support of @NHSPracHealth and benefitted from their amazing service. Asking for help is not weakness or failure.
@NHSPracHealth @ITV I was lucky enough to receive support from @NHSPracHealth myself in January 2021 - the service they provide is second to none. Thank you 💙
When I was 16 in the 1970s I was expelled from high school for being a lesbian and put in a psychiatric ward for conversion therapy to de-gay me. It was so traumatic, I attempted suicide. I was fortunate--I survived. So I am celebrating another birthday, today. But conversion…
Negative thoughts can be overwhelming and cause great emotional suffering. Here's how to start being kinder to yourself and treating yourself better. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/change…
How it started: June 2006 - develop a devastating mental health condition. Symptoms are so severe I’m forced to interrupt medical school. How it’s going: Today - I’m a consultant psychiatrist & it’s my first day working in the Urgent Consultation Service. Dreams do come true.
As a doctor, I saw a snapshot of the impact of child #mentalhealth. As a primary teacher, I supported these children day to day. As a parent, I have lived & breathed it. As a patient, I have felt it. Children are tomorrow's adults. This matters. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek
I was a doctor. Then burnout and mental illness happened. Devastated & ashamed, I left medicine. Now, I'm in a national leadership role, Using my experience to influence the culture & systems in which we work Life happens, It's what we do with these experiences that matters.
I was a doctor. Then burnout and mental illness happened. Upset & ashamed, I left. It's been nearly 5 yrs. As I navigate returning to medicine, I'm reminded of 3 things about the NHS... 🧵
To all the doctors who clock watch at the end of the day, Who carry the guilt and shame of leaving on time, To those with caring responsibilities or appointments to get to, those who have made plans outside of work... This makes you no less dedicated than those who stay. 🧵👇
This is Anu - my fabulous executive assistant / research assistant / biostatistician in training. Whenever anyone says “I don’t know how you do it all?” the answer is that I couldn’t possibly do half of what I do without Anu’s extraordinary help and organisational skills.
The girl I loved in high school died today. It's been forty years since I saw her last, ten years since we spoke. It probably shouldn't cut the way it does. I used to walk across town every weekend, my arms full of record albums. Tonight I'm listening to the songs we loved then.
