Mindfulness & Wellbeing for Doctors

As a doctor, you dedicate your life to the care of others—but who is caring for you? In the demanding world of healthcare, stress, burnout, and emotional fatigue can take a toll, leaving little space for self-care and reflection. Our CPD-accredited Mindfulness & Wellbeing Retreat is designed specifically for doctors, providing an evidence-based, immersive experience to help you reset, regain balance, and develop lifelong skills for resilience and self-compassion.

Grounded in mindfulness-based cognitive tools, this retreat offers practical strategies to enhance your mental and emotional wellbeing while also supporting your ongoing professional development. Through guided mindfulness practices, self-awareness training, and evidence-based approaches to stress management, you will learn how to integrate self-care into your daily life—without guilt.

This retreat is more than just time away; it’s an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, deepen your emotional agility, and return to your work and life with renewed clarity, energy, and purpose.

Our commitment to excellence in medical education means that a Whole Hearted Medicine retreat is more than simply a few days of self care. Through a structured program of coaching, connection and education, attendees will be supported by:

• Introducing you to Mindfulness Based Cognitive Interventions to help you to deepen your self awareness and build your skills in self compassion and compassionate self reflection.
• Creating an actionable framework for self care that allows you to integrate meaningful lifestyle medicine interventions into an already busy life.
• Guiding you in the important concept of reflective practice, a skill that is deeply embedded into the AHPRA framework for Continuing Professional Development for doctors.
• Taking time to reflect on how you can best keep yourself happy, healthy and balanced in this very demanding profession.
• Helping you to rekindle your passion for medicine to ensure your career satisfaction and longevity.
• Opening safe spaces for vulnerable and authentic connection amongst your colleagues, away from the pressures of your workplace.
• Ensuring you are acknowledged for the importance of this work by attaining you CPD points to recognise the value and relevance of mindful self care and self awareness in your safe and efficacious role as a doctor.

Immersive and wholehearted, it’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced in medical education before.

A unique and immersive approach to doctor wellbeing, the Mindfulness & Wellbeing Retreat by Whole Hearted Medicine provides a CPD-accredited program designed to equip doctors with mindfulness-based cognitive tools for long-term resilience, self-awareness, and professional fulfilment.

Grounded in evidence-based psychological frameworks such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Self-Compassion Theory, this retreat supports doctors in developing practical strategies for managing stress, preventing burnout, and enhancing emotional agility—both in their professional and personal lives.

Over four days of deep learning, guided mindfulness practice, and peer connection, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to step away from the pressures of clinical work and focus on sustainable self-care and professional growth. With structured content designed to ensure psychological safety and support adult learning, participants leave with actionable skills that integrate seamlessly into their daily practice.

By prioritising your own wellbeing, you not only improve your personal resilience but also contribute to a healthier, more sustainable healthcare system. This retreat is the first step towards lasting change—both for yourself and for the profession as a whole.
