Protocol for doctors returning to work after a period of illness

Modified on Tue, 5 Jul, 2022 at 11:58 AM

Developed by the Forum of Postgraduate Medical Training Bodies, this protocol is to be used in circumstances where a doctor is returning to work after a significant period of absence due to ill-health. 

In particular, it should be used when the doctor in question has been absent due to stress-related illness, mental ill-health or where the doctor has experienced trauma (either personal or work-related) resulting in significant emotional distress.
