GPs’ perceptions of resilience training

GPs most likely to benefit from resilience training were the least likely to engage, as stress and being busy worked against engagement. This was one of the findings from a survey of GPs around resilience training programmes in general practice. While there were conflicting views about the most suitable training delivery methods, a multimodal, flexible approach, including resilience workshops within undergraduate training and in individual practices, is likely to be the optimal way to promote resilience.
