Happy #WorldMentalHealthDay 2024 🥳 The theme is Mental Health at work 👨⚕️🧑⚕️🩺 2024 GMC National training survey showed: 💙 63% of doctors in training at risk of burnout. 💙 40% of doctors in training felt burnt out because of work. 💙 43% of doctors reported finding it difficult to provide patients with a sufficient level of care And these are only the reported statistics - much more may be going unsaid 💔.
