Doctors Living is the brainchild of David and Olivia Morris, the first husband and wife led team who focus on physician's lives, this unique blend provides a 360 view of physicians lives and how they can be improved. Having experienced the challenges of a medical career and its impact on their family and others, they decided to create this movement to help other doctors globally to discover how to live with more balance and happiness. David is a physician with significant expertise in health and wellness. Olivia is constantly growing our network of members and has experience in human performance, how to get the best out of people and optimise their lives. Together their experiences and academics provide physicians and their families a unique perspective to help them solve problems faced in medicine.
Together we advocate for change throughout Ireland, UK and USA, helping to bring awareness and advice to policymakers, administration, physicians etc so they can make appropriate changes within healthcare settings. We are unwavering in our mission to make things better for our physicians and we will not rest until we see a system that works for them, their colleagues and their patients.
Olivia Morris is co-founder and the driving force of Doctors Living, being a vocal advocate for physician wellbeing for doctors and their families.
She combines this passion with being a wife, mother and serial entrepreneur. Her academic background spans Law, Business, Psychology, Engineering & Innovation. This breadth of learning provides a robust understanding of the business world, and how people think and behave in life and at work.
Having launched her first business at 18, Olivia quickly learned about scaling organisations and the managing people, skills which have been her strength as she has since started and run multiple business across domains ranging from medical to gastronomy. Olivia is an empathetic leader and is known to go the extra mile to help everybody around her to succeed far beyond what they ever imagined they could achieve. She brings authenticity and transparency to every interaction with colleagues and clients.
As a doctor’s wife, Olivia had first hand experience of the impact that the career can have on physicians and their families.
