A Sparkle Toolkit to prevent doctors around the world from burning out

‍The Issue of Doctor Burnout

More and more doctors are experiencing burnout, due to an inability to focus on patient care. This is a concerning development within the medical profession. The Care Lab, based in Barcelona, in collaboration with Apogee, based in Hong Kong, created the Sparkle Toolkit to address this issue.

Research and Development

They interviewed doctors in Barcelona, from medical students to retired surgeons. The goal was to understand the path from feeling engaged and enthusiastic ("sparkling") to feeling disengaged and apathetic ("sleepwalking") at work. The toolkit was designed to help professionals reflect and identify strategies, in collaboration with their peers, to rediscover their passion for medicine.

Aims of the Sparkle Toolkit

The Sparkle Toolkit is intended to enable professionals to reflect on their experiences and identify strategies with their peers to find their way back to feeling engaged with their work.
