The recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has increased doctors' stresses at work and at home, putting them at increased risk of burnout. Considering this, we recently conducted the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) Burnout and Wellbeing Survey which showed that, from 1298 responde...

description The recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has increased doctors' stresses at work and at home, putting them at increased risk of burnout. Considering this, we recently conducted the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) Burnout and Wellbeing Survey which showed that, from 1298 respondents (approximately 25% of the membership of the BOA), 40% reported burnout and a further 50% were just below the threshold. The burnout rates were found to be higher in Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME), female and LGBTQ+ groups (45.6%) compared to white, heterosexual males (33.6% - p < 0.001) and also higher in trainees (49.1%) and associate specialists (52.1%) compared to consultants (35.7% - p < 0.001). We discuss what can be learned from the experience of the UK Armed Forces in their programme for stress management, their mental resilience training and their campaign to destigmatize mental wellbeing, that may mitigate burnout in our profession. We also put forward the case for appropriate resources to be allocated to tackling burnout in orthopaedic doctors and introduce the BOA's Wellbeing Initiative.
