Dear Editor,
I read the wellbeing and burnout articles in the Bulletin (Summer 2024) with interest. Though highlighted for some, it is an ‘eyeroll subject’, but the importance of wellbeing is undeniable. In particular, it is important to ensure that anaesthetists and the wider multidisciplinary team receive appropriate wellbeing and psychological support after traumatic incidents. Exposure to traumatic events is inevitable in anaesthesia. Having systems to support staff afterwards is crucial to recovery and to reduce long-term burnout and emotional toll.
