Revolving Door Syndrome #16 - Dr Liz Berryman - Snakebites, Startups and Toxic Workplaces
On this episode of our podcast, we kōrero with Dr. Elizabeth Berryman, a highly respected healthcare professional and advocate for clinician's mental health. Dr. Berryman's journey began as a nurse working in the remote Australian outback, where she faced unique challenges and gained invaluable experience in managing a small rural hospital. This experience fueled her passion for improving healthcare outcomes and inspired her to pursue a career in medicine. During her clinical years as a med student, she encountered a toxic bullying environment. This experience nearly led her to leave medicine altogether, but instead, it sparked a passion for investigating and improving workplace culture. Dr. Berryman's research ultimately led to the development of 'Chnnl,' a cutting-edge medical tech startup aimed at empowering healthcare workers to track their mental wellbeing and provide anonymous feedback to senior leadership. Through her work with 'Chnnl,' Dr. Berryman is making a significant impact in the healthcare industry, advocating for mental health awareness, and working to improve clinician wellbeing and patient outcomes.
