Burnout is particularly common among medical professionals, and it arises from chronic stress often from the workplace, financially, or from relationships. Its symptoms include exhaustion, negativity, cynicism, and decreased efficacy in tasks. Doctors face heightened risks due to high workloads and financial pressures, often ignoring early signs like fatigue, poor sleep, and detachment.

But, there is an answer! The Bongiorno Group’s Matt Homewood invites mindfulness coach and best-selling author of ‘Beating Burnout Finding Balance’, Melo Calarco, to discuss preventative measures to burnout. They include self-awareness, addressing physiological stress signals, and incorporating self-care routines like mindfulness, proper rest, and balanced workloads. Short-term solutions like 90-second breath breaks help regulate stress during busy days. Long-term strategies involve setting boundaries, prioritising health, and seeking professional or peer support to sustain wellbeing.
