It can be so easy, when stuck in the day-to-day firefighting of running a practice, to forget to invest time in our own development, or provide that time to our teams.

Leading a team in the demanding environment of primary care is no small feat. While the weight of responsibility can be substantial, the findings of a recent study by the wellbeing app HappierMe offer valuable insights into how managers can thrive, rather than merely survive.
