Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed new, intense and, as yet, unquantifiable strain on the wellbeing of healthcare professionals. Similarities are seen internationally with regards to the uptake of psychological support offered to healthcare professionals during a pandemic. Junior doctors are in a unique position to offer and access peer support; this is an evidence-based strategy to promote psychological wellbeing of junior doctors through the COVID-19 pandemic and into the future. The development of peer support networks during the pandemic may lead to reduced physician burnout and improved patient care in the future. We discuss a peer support initiative to support medical trainees during the COVID-19 pandemic, discuss the barriers to the success of such schemes, and reflect on the value of grass-roots peer support initiatives.
