BURN-OUT

Thursday 15 October

with Dr Jean-Emile Venderheyden

A recognised expert neurobiologist in the field

Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions:

• feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
• increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one’s job; and
• reduced professional efficacy.

During this conference, Dr Jean-Emile Vanderheyden will shed light on:
