Now over 4000 signatories. We are coming out to support NHS Practitioner Health because it works.

On a plane the guidance is to put your oxygen mask on before helping others.

This service for many of us has been our life and career saving oxygen mask - allowing us to help others.

For clarity. Chris. When my surgical trainee husband was acutely suicidal the only ‘support’ from his employer was a letter saying his pay would stop soon…

NHS Practitioner Health on the other hand very literally saved his life.

Decommissioning ‘while you review’ will cost lives.

This is disastrous, hideous news. NHS England are hacking back the mental health support for hospital staff. One doctor takes their life every three weeks. One nurse takes their life every single week. These numbers will now INCREASE. Victoria Atkins - please do the right thing.

DAUK is calling for this cruel decision to be urgently reversed dauk.org/news/2024/04/1…

I cannot believe NHS England are withdrawing funding for this vital service that’s been a lifeline for countless number of doctors

Doctors have the highest suicide rates of all professions & currently morale is at an all time low.

How much more can the profession take?! 😞

On the day I spoke to @timesradio about why Drs leave the NHS....this pretty much sums it up. 👇
The utter contempt for people who go above & beyond for their patients is unbelievable

Can confirm that the flags are indeed at half-mast to mourn the passing of the late Jenny Vaughan | Just Culture for all in healthcare former local Councillor, neurologist, Mum & all round lovely person. I can hear her laughing at things kicking off in the Spoons 🍺 opposite.

📻 | Our GP lead Dr Dr Lizzie Toberty 💙 says she's not surprised by new GMC research that shows almost one in three doctors could be considering leaving UK practice.

'We need to take these figures really seriously,' she told Times Radio listeners.

General practice is so important that all major parties have it high up on their agendas....yet literally no one wants to actually fund it properly.

And yet we cannot even contemplate uplifts in line with inflation.

Today I feel yet again completely undervalued and ignored.

Wow 😮
The GMC are now trying to justify why they are no longer the regulator of Doctors only by appealing to ‘history’
The GMC used to be the ‘independent’ regulator of Doctors
Doctors were not consulted on whether this should change
Instead the leaders have bowed to Govt

I’ve teamed up with 38 Degrees to create this petition

👉🏼 One in ten of us already face a three-week wait for a GP appointment. With hundreds of GPs facing closure, the number of us waiting could get even higher. The Government need a proper plan to save GPs from closure.…
