Practice wellbeing and burnout
A coordinated learning pack for the whole clinical team. Each member completes the wellbeing modules tagged for their profession; the team then meets for a 45-minute structured huddle to identify the practice-level drivers of burnout and one or two structural changes worth trialling.
Individual learning by role.
Each clinical team member completes their profession's module before the team huddle. Where a role has no profession- specific module yet, that member joins the huddle and contributes from their discipline.
GP (RACGP / ACRRM)
burnout recognition response ›Start with burnout-recognition-response. Mindfulness and peer-support modules optional but recommended.
Registered nurse / Midwife
burnout recognition response ›Same starting module as the rest of the team — content applies to nursing practice equally.
Physiotherapist
burnout recognition response ›Module content is profession-agnostic; the audit and reflection apply to physio practice.
Psychologist
burnout recognition response ›Module content fits psychology practice; consider also peer-support module for relational professional context.
Pharmacist
burnout recognition response ›Module content applies to pharmacy practice; community pharmacy stressors map cleanly to the Maslach domains.
Practice wellbeing team huddle
Duration: 45 minutes. One person chairs (typically the practice administrator). No slides required — the agenda below is the structure.
Agenda
0-5 min
Brief check-in — each person rates the past month 1-5 on energy and 1-5 on cynicism. No discussion yet; just numbers.
5-20 min
Round-table: each member shares one thing from the burnout audit that surfaced something they hadn't noticed. No advice-giving from others — listening only.
20-35 min
Six-areas mismatch discussion: as a team, identify which Maslach driver (workload, control, reward, community, fairness, values) is most pressing in this practice right now.
35-45 min
Implementation: pick one structural change the practice can trial in the next month. Name an owner, a date, and a follow-up check-in.
Discussion prompts
- What time of week or year is the team most stretched, and what specifically drives that?
- Where is the team's autonomy most constrained, and is the constraint actually necessary?
- Who in the team is doing emotional labour that isn't recognised, and how would we recognise it formally?
- What's one thing we used to do that supported wellbeing and quietly stopped?
Implementation actions
A starter list. Pick one or two to trial in the next four weeks.
- Block 30 minutes in a recurring team meeting for wellbeing check-in.
- Identify one workflow change that reduces after-hours load and trial for 4 weeks.
- Save Drs4Drs, Nurse & Midwife Support, and Lifeline numbers on the practice noticeboard and in shared digital reference.
- Schedule the next team huddle for 4 weeks out to review the trial.
CPD eligibility
The huddle counts as Reviewing Performance for each clinical participant under self-attestation — peer discussion of professional practice is the canonical RP activity. Each member logs the huddle as a separate RP activity (suggested 0.75 hours) in addition to the wellbeing module.
Run this pack with your team.
The pack itself is free to use — no PracticaCPD subscription required to view the huddle template, run the meeting, or log the result manually. Pro / Practice subscriptions unlock the modules and the team-progress dashboard.
