Objective: Workers in EDs are regularly exposed to potentially traumatic events. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been exponential interest in peer support programs (PSPs) in a range of settings. We describe a PSP implemented in 2017 at University Hospital Geelong (UHG) ED together with results of a survey.

Methods: To describe the program such that others can replicate it in their settings in addition to feedback evaluation. Method involved a survey emailed to the ED doctors.

Results: Thirty responses from 96 emails with a range of feedback.

Conclusion: ED Doctors place high value on the PSP.
