Medicine and Science from The BMJ

Wellbeing - scheduling and burnout


Listen Later

Rota gaps are a big problem when it comes to loading stress on the medical workforce, and there is big pressure to spread the workforce as evenly as possible across wards and shifts.
However the tyranny of the rota - especially when changing rotations or working across multiple sites, means that often doctors personal wishes, or big life events are not taken into account.
The dehumanising status of becoming just a number in the system is not helping people have the kind of fulfilling careers that encourages people to stay within the workforce, and helps guard them from burnout.
So how do we square that circle? Anas Nader, CEO of Patchwork Health, joins us to talk about why his own burnout lead him to try and fix the rota problem - and where he has got to now.
