We need an urgent review of the proliferation and effectiveness of mandatory & statutory training requirements for health care staff.

I wish the incoming government would review the massive proliferation of statutory bodies which inspect, monitor, regulate and investigate health care staff. Yet not a single one to address their emotional and well being needs.

Any new Government has a moral duty to care for those who care for us. This means addressing causes of suffering; workload, loss of ‘belonging’ , lack of flexibility in training, lack of careers advise from start to finish, lack of time to care/think, as well as pay & conditions.

There is no other word for the service we deliver than vital. Thank you for the support Wes Streeting

The support we’ve received has been amazing. The team is grateful that the service is recognised for its value to keeping nhs workforce mentally well. Thanks ⁦Wes Streeting⁩ NHS Practitioner Health⁩ ⁦NHS England⁩

I wonder if we could stop calling referring to those who die trying to reach our shores as ‘migrants’. It devalues them. They’re people; men, women and children. People with families, friends, wives, husbands. Calling them ‘migrants’ acts to separate them from us. They are ‘us’

Thank you for restoring the service which as you say is a life line for many. We look forward to working with you and NHS England in the review. I am so grateful for all the hard work you and others do for the #nhs .

Early night tonight. I wonder why I’m so exhausted? Thank you all you wonderful people. Your support has been amazing.

Thank you so much.

Numbers under regulator/disciplinary issues fallen from 40% to 3% over 15 years we believe due to improved access to NHS Practitioner Health -> significant cost saving to #nhs when factor in costs of Ix’s , dual costs of salary & locum if Dr is suspended, legal costs etc

I’m sorry NHS Practitioner Health are not responding to every email / tweet or communication. We are busy preparing information for various stakeholders to use over the next few days.

I feel very emotional as does NHS Practitioner Health team for all the wonderful support we have received since Friday. I promise - it is helping. Thank you so much, especially those who have publicly declared they were our patients.
