Discover how burnout tracks from beginning to end, and what it means to have a meaningful GP career in 2026.
Former GP partner and training director Dr Sarah Coope charts her career from a young GP with a thirst for continuity to a specialist in clinician wellbeing and conflict resolution.
Sarah shares how taking a risk on coaching early in her career proved transformational, leading her to discover her ‘joy in work’ and ultimately protect herself from burnout.
She breaks down the three degrees of burnout and offers immediately actionable, self-aware strategies – from the power of the midday break to identifying the 20% of your week that brings you purpose.
This is a must-listen for any sessional GP looking to find stability, set boundaries, and manage the emotional load of modern general practice.
