Quality patient care and doctors’ well-being go hand in hand. As healthcare practitioners, our duty is to look after the health of patients and the community, and we can do this well only if we are willing and able to look after ourselves and each other.
The Academy, assuming a leading role in the medical and dental profession, has promulgated a Well-being Charter committed to cultivating and promoting well-being of Academy Fellows and specialist trainees of Academy Colleges.
