ObjectiveThe objective was to assess burnout in senior hospital doctors (consultants and staff grade, associate specialist and specialty (SAS) doctors) within a UK-based NHS district general hospital (DGH).MethodA web-based survey was created using the validated abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory (aMBI) with consultants and SAS doctors in a DGH.Primary And Secondary Outcome MeasuresWe measured scores on aMBI subscales: depersonalisation, emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment and efficacy.ResultsOne-hundred and seventy-eight senior clinicians (60% of consultant and SAS doctors) completed the survey with 85% of these being substantive consultants. Forty-nine per cent of senior clinicians were found to be at high risk of burnout using metrics from the aMBI.ConclusionsBurnout is prevalent among senior clinicians at this DGH.© Royal College of Physicians 2020.
