What you weren't told about working as a junior doctor - a podcast by BMJ Group

When going on placement, you are probably more interested in gaining experience in the clinical environment and less interested in how frequently doctors can take breaks.Doctors’ working conditions may seem irrelevant as a medical student but they are closely associated with work satisfaction and wellbeing. In this episode, the Sharp Scratch panel discussed doctors’ working conditions and how it impacts our day-to-day work.


Expert guest:Dr Kevin Teoh (@kevinteohrh on Twitter) is a Chartered Psychologist and the Executive Officer for the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology.
