When it hit me, I was in my last 12 months of psychiatry training before becoming a consultant psychiatrist. Something never quite sat right with becoming a psychiatrist, the long hours and emotional toll of the profession was not something I could see myself doing for the rest of my life. The administrative burden and endless hours at the computer were not why I signed up for a career in medicine. Then it hit me, burnout. My burnout was a wake-up call. I needed to change something in my life. I decided to leave psychiatry a career 20 years in the making, gone. But it was the best decision I ever made. On my journey, I rediscovered my passion for design and have since been on a mission to help others with burnout and improve health IT systems to be more user-friendly and aid clinicians in their jobs rather than hinder them. As a speaker, I bring a unique perspective on the intersection of mental health, burnout, general practice and design in the healthcare industry. Change is never easy, but only when we make the change we can see what we are truly capable of.
