During Wellbeing Week, the RCSEd Trainees’ Committee encourages surgical and dental teams to take a few moments to focus on themselves and their teams. Maintaining wellbeing is vital to enable the provision of optimal patient care. Wellbeing Week serves as a reminder to check in with everyone, offering support and celebrating ourselves.
Wellbeing Week 2024 will be held from 11-15 March.
