Abstract

Objective: The RANZCP recently released Position Statement 48 on the ‘safety and wellbeing of psychiatrists and those in psychiatry training’. This article will examine the five key domains highlighted by this statement and provide suggestions on how this guidance might relate to trainees. The domains covered are (i) safe workplaces free from discrimination, bullying, harassment, and violence; (ii) positive team cultures; (iii) positive professional peer relationships; (iv) supportive supervision and mentorship; and (v) work–life balance.

Conclusions: In the context of the significant and complex demands of psychiatry training, Position Statement 48 helps to provide a framework for trainees and the people and systems that support them to understand, anticipate, and successfully manage the potential risks to trainee wellbeing and safety.
