National Doughnut Day is celebrated on the first Friday in June each year. It is often used as a light-hearted opportunity to bring people together and enjoy a small treat. In busy workplaces such as GP practices, simple moments of shared connection can help lift morale and create a positive team atmosphere.

While the day is informal, it can also act as a reminder that taking short breaks and sharing informal moments with colleagues can support wellbeing, reduce stress and strengthen team relationships during demanding periods.

Simple Team Idea:

Organise a short “coffee and doughnut” break during the day where staff can step away from their desks for a few minutes and chat with colleagues. Even a brief pause can help refresh energy and improve team morale.
