The provision of opportunities for students to 'check-in' with staff, and the introduction of well-being topics within the curriculum, were perceived by students and staff as being of potential benefit to the mental health of students. Such interventions may also help to build rapport and encourage students to engage with medical school support services. All well-being support services are increasingly in demand amongst medical students, showing a need for them to expand and well-being to be further incorporated into the course.
