Burnout in oncology and throughout healthcare is a major issue.

An ESMO survey conducted in young Oncologists in 2013-2014 revealed 70% of young oncologists in Europe were impacted by burnout. 

25% of oncologists surveyed were thinking of a change of career and 38% of leaving the profession. All this at a time of needing more oncologists! 

Join us in this 2 part episode where we join the superb Professor Susana Banerjee.

She discusses the issue of burnout and the excellent work done by the ESMO Resilience Task Force  on this critical issue.

Professor Banerjee is an internationally renowned medical oncologist at The Royal Marsden Hospital treating and researching gynaecological cancers.

She has been heavily involved in the ESMO Resilience project and looking for strategies for dealing with the huge problem that is burnout in oncology.

We hope you find this as useful as we have!
