Show Notes
Michael West is professor of organisational psychology, at Lancaster University, and co-author of a new GMC report into the wellbeing of NHS staff.
The review he led together with the clinical psychiatrist Denise Coia, focused on primary interventions related to workplace factors and the systems that doctors work in, rather than secondary interventions such as resilience training.
In this podcast interview, he describes what he found - and talks about how low wellbeing is amongst doctors, why the command and control nature of some management teams has increased the problem, and why he has hope because of some of the good practice he sees in NHS organisations.
