What We Do

View our current and past education sessions here.

Our education sessions focus on a breadth of issues including maintaining our health and wellbeing, caring for the doctors as patients, understanding medicolegal and workplace stress and transforming workplaces to be healthy workplaces. We run regular educational seminars and events throughout the year, partnering with other organisations to broaden the impact of our work.

Doctors’ Health in Queensland can provide education on a range of doctors’ health topics including but not limited to:  

• Why doctors’ health matters and what it means for you 
• Doctor self-care 
• Burnout, compassion fatigue & vicarious trauma 
• Being a doctor to a doctor-patient 
• Bullying & harassment 
• Workplace wellbeing – creating mentally healthy workplaces

Our education sessions can be delivered face to face, as webinars or workshops.

We are engaged in research with a number of universities and other health organisations to enhance the evidence-base that underpins our understanding of doctors’ health.

Our website provides links to relevant resources.

DHQ is a member of the Australian Doctors’ Health Network (ADHN) enabling our service to proactively engage with other doctors’ health services across Australia and New Zealand to support our work in this field. We have worked with these organisations to convene the Australasian Doctors’ Health Conference every two years which alternates with the International Physician Health Conferences. The first two national doctors’ health conferences were held in Brisbane in 1999 and 2001.
