The Transition to Retirement modules were developed by a team comprising medical, academic and research professionals. The team is being led by Chanaka Wijeratne, an old-age psychiatrist with many years’ experience of assessing impaired older doctors, and Jo Earl, an academic psychologist with a special interest in retirement. Their research has already shown how important it is for older doctors to actively plan for successful retirement.
The other team members are Jill Gordon, a GP representing the Doctors’ Health Advisory Service (NSW), Anna Mooney, a researcher in Psychology with expertise in designing online modules for retirement planning and Carl Mooney who is responsible for taking the team’s ideas and converting them for online delivery.
We are grateful to the Avant Foundation who funded the development of the modules.
