Abstract
Discussion: Junior doctors face enormous stress and are often reluctant to seek help. Some key stressors to which junior doctors are exposed, including medical error and negative workplace culture will be explored. Barriers to junior doctors ensuring the priority of their own wellness will be examined. The importance of ‘healthy’ specialty training programs and ‘healthy’ workplace for our junior clinicians will be critically discussed. Conclusion: Evidence suggests that Specialty Colleges, hospitals, medical schools and all clinical workplaces need to examine their processes to ensure struggling clinicians are identified and are helped to access self care. Furthermore, junior doctors need to be able to find joy and meaning in their work. Efforts are needed to proactively instil in trainees the importance of their own self care. The curriculum of Specialty Colleges and hospital education programs should include wellness and healthy workplace culture.
