A note from Thrive Symposium organiser, Dr Amy Imms

I see people struggling every day with high work demands, long hours, carrying the mental load, the impact of COVID, responding to workplace bullying, and a plethora of other pressures. I see people feeling overwhelmed and not coping, hesitant to reach out for help and unsure what they can actually do about it. And I want to do something to help.

I've been a doctor for 17 years, and working with burnout for 7 years. In that time, I have met so many amazing people with valuable expertise and contributions when it comes to preventing and managing burnout. With burnout on the rise since COVID began, and only continuing to increase, I wanted to gather together this wealth of experience and wisdom and share it with those who need it most.

Thrive Symposium is a time of self-discovery, clarity, learning, and hope. For you, it might just be a turning point, prompting personal action, and encouraging you to seek any support you may need moving forward.
I look forward to seeing you throughout the symposium.

Great speakers include:

Professor Craig Hassed - Interview with Craig about mindfulness and its personal and professional benefits

Dr Jana Pittman - Interview with Jana "Surviving the Obstacles"

Dr Rebecca Nortrhop - How to stop people-pleasing so you can prioritise your own needs
