Press Reviews
Professor Dame Clare Gerada, PRCGP FRCPsych, Past President Royal College of General Practitioners
Burnout is ubiquitous among health professionals, but it does not mean one has to suffer in silence. This excellent book explains what burnout is, but more importantly, how to deal with it.
Alan Currie Consultant, Psychiatrist, CNTW NHS Foundation trust & UK Sports institute
Dr Duggins has collected a lifetime's wisdom and guidance into this highly readable book. Real to life examples shed light on the phenomenon and will be easily recognisable. This is a hopeful book crammed with tips and techniques for us all.
Jerry Tew, Professor of Mental Health and Social Work at Birmingham University
Burnout-Free Working is a wonderfully accessible guide to how to survive and thrive in challenging work environments, including social work and care. It has a positive no-blame focus throughout and recognises the importance of addressing organisational cultures and practices that are inimical to wellbeing, as well as building interpersonal relationships that may prevent us from falling over the 'burnout cliff'.
