What to expect

We will be exploring how to develop a career you love!

The day will feature a combination of interactive talks, workshops and exercises, including:

• Exploring changes in medicine – how to thrive when life doesn’t quite go to plan
• Building a wellbeing toolkit for yourself that can keep you well whatever life throws at you
• Positive psychology exercises designed to help you get clear, motivated and inspired to make the changes you need to make in your career

All you need is a computer and access to the Internet!

Meet your host

I am Dr Caroline Walker and I founded The Joyful Doctor.

As a psychiatrist, therapist and coach, I have specialised in the wellbeing of doctors for many years.  I am passionate about helping stressed-out doctors find ways of working (inside and outside of medicine!) that support their wellbeing first and foremost.

I have first-hand experience of how the pressures of working in medicine can impact on life through burnout, bipolar disorder and addiction.

I got tired of seeing my colleagues succumbing to the constant pressures of work - leading many to become disillusioned, depressed and in some cases even suicidal...

I had to do something!

For over ten years I have helped overworked and underappreciated doctors who struggle with their mental health or career choices to stop ‘just existing’ and instead embrace life and take steps towards a happier, healthier, more fulfilled life and career.
