How to return well to work after burnout, with Dr Katya Miles

Welcome to a brand new season of the Beat Burnout podcast (formerly called Do Yourself No Harm). Join Dr Claire Ashley and guests this season as we talk everything to do with burnout.
We're kicking off the new season focusing on how to return well to work after burnout.

In today's episode I am joined by Dr Katya Miles. Katya is a GP and Occupational Health Doctor turned Wellbeing Trainer, Team & Careers Coach & Specialist in Workplace Wellbeing. Having journeyed through burnout, she resolved to empower caring professionals to avoid the
mistakes she made, and thrive in work. This passion drove her to set up The Working Well Doctor where she uses her clinical and academic
expertise, along with her personal experience, to deliver inspiring coaching and training programmes for overstretched professionals.
You can contact Katya via her ⁠website⁠, www.workingwelldoctor.com and ⁠Instagram where she is @workingwelldoctor. If you're interested in her Spring retreat, you can find out more and book here: workingwelldoc...
In this episode, we cover:
Why you need time off work with burnout
What things you need to do to prepare to return to work after burnout
Who you need to help you to return to work well
What changes and/or reasonable adjustments might be helpful for your return, both in the short term and in the long term
What a realistic return to work looks and feels like.
Whilst both Katya and I are both doctors, today's episode is for anyone who is returning to work after burnout and a period of sick leave.
