Thrive in Psychiatry

Helping you to survive and thrive in your career

In our new campaign, we're looking to help our membership overcome barriers and take on exciting new challenges. 

In the first of a series of podcasts exploring the challenges members face, we discuss what needs to be done to support psychiatrists with carer responsibilities, and neurodivergent psychiatrists.

We also discuss taking a break and the role of employers, and delve into leadership and why it might be something you should try.

The College's Presidential Lead for Retention Dr Ananta Dave speaks to Dr Raka Maitra, Dr Shevonne Matheiken and Dr Derek Tracy.

How can we help you to thrive?

The Thrive in Psychiatry campaign will be running 28 Oct - 9 Dec and during that time we'll discuss a wide range of issues and challenges facing psychiatrists. We'd love to hear what you think - whether you think the College or another body should be doing more to help, or if you have a question.
