WEEK 4 - WELLBEING WEEK (Part 2) - Work-Life Balance, Career Growth & Purpose
Work-Life Balance, Career Growth & Purpose
The first few years after qualifying can feel like a blur — clinics, admin, new responsibilities, and the pressure to “get it right.” But what does balance actually look like in real life? And how do you build a career that feels both sustainable and fulfilling?
This session is designed to help you pause, reflect, and create space for the kind of doctor — and person — you want to be.
We’ll cover:
Setting boundaries without guilt
Finding meaning and purpose in your GP career
Managing stress and preventing burnout
Building long-term habits that protect your wellbeing
Featuring Dr Alex Lai, GP, coach and co-founder of The WorkWell Doctors. Alex has dedicated his career to helping doctors find clarity, confidence and balance at work. As a wellbeing advocate and former RCGP National First5 Wellbeing Lead, he brings honesty, insight and practical strategies for navigating the early years of general practice with intention and self-compassion.
Hosted by Dr Sanaa Anie-Akwetey (GP, founder of HUMANFORM Studio).
