Where to get confidential help
National and international research has shown that as a doctor, you will experience higher levels of occupational stress compared to other professions. This stress can lead to burnout and impact on your career and personal life.
Metro South Health has developed Vigeo as a holistic approach to doctors’ health—with topics covering the full spectrum of healthy living and personal wellbeing. The app is for all practitioners, including junior through to senior doctors.
