Wellbeing and self-care

Learner wellbeing and self-care

The GP supervisor and broader supervision team have a key role in the prevention, early intervention and management of stress-related issues in the medical learner. Learner well-being should be explicitly addressed in the first week of the placement and monitored throughout.

Supervisor wellbeing and self-care

GP supervisors also have a professional duty to monitor and support their own self-care and wellbeing. GP wellbeing is a shared responsibility among individuals, practices and the broader health system.
