In June 2022 we ran our first trainee Wellbeing Day. We called it ‘Bringing the Joy Back!’ and it was run by ‘The Joyful Doctor’ – a company known for delivering these types of events. It took place in the Radisson Blu Edwardian Grafton Hotel in Central London and we received some of the best feedback on a PGME event we’ve ever seen! Some of you said it ‘exceeded expectations’ and ‘it was a really great and useful day’. This event was so well received that we just HAD TO plan another! So we DID!

Our second event was on 24th March 2023 and we received the same excellent feedback from our trainees. So much so, we have decided to make the event an annual staple part of our training programme offer. It’s so important for all of us to stay well at work. One of our trainees said: “Made me pause and think about my needs and things I need to do for myself and my wellbeing” - which is why we have decided to keep this event going each year.
