Doctors deliver care, but who cares for doctors?

The stress of practising medicine affects many doctors' wellbeing. Firth-Cozens' editorial (p 670) highlights the need for a proactive approach towards the health of NHS staff. A special issue this week of BMJ Careers focuses on doctors' wellbeing, exploring the difficulties of being a doctor. From her own experience, Bennett (p s103) shares valuable advice for doctors with minor mental disorders. Freeman and Adams (p s105) present some tips on dealing with patients who are doctors, and Brewer (p s106) informs on GMC health procedures for ill doctors.
