Practical advice and guidance for all trainee doctors and dentists to support their personal and professional wellbeing.

The third episode in the series covers coping mechanisms, and in particular focusing on how some of our normal methods to help us unwind and relax can become unhealthy.

Many people find a glass of wine or a cold beer after a long day at work helps to switch off… but at what point does this start becoming harmful?

Hosts Flo and Katie are joined by Blair Merrick, a specialty trainee in infectious diseases and general medicine in the east of England. Together they discuss three common challenges that trainees face when it comes to coping mechanisms and alcohol.
