💥 Over 12k NHS staff sigs!💥

Please keeping signing & sharing tonight 🙏

We'll send it to NHS England tmrw 💪

Stony silence, incidentally, on where we can find their equality impact assessment of cutting mental health services for staff (a legal duty).

Did they even bother?

One of the biggest issues with #NHS ?
Constant recycling of same folks as leaders

If you aren’t good at it?
A change of lanyard/title won’t make you better

Poor wine in new bottles?
Still poor wine

Don’t @ me
Look at outcomes.

Dear 🇬🇧,

I can't stop thinking about my employer caring so little about suicidal doctors that it's chosen to cut the 0.007% of its budget it spends on the mental health service that helps keep them alive.

Thanks, @nhsengland.

And they wonder why doctors are leaving in droves.

Last year NHS England defunded the staff mental health & wellbeing hubs set up during Covid.

Now they’re pulling the CQC Outstanding NHS Practitioner Health service that’s saved countless suicidal & traumatised doctors, including me.

It costs 0.007% of the NHS budget.

Vicious & cruel.

Hugely wealthy but the thought of having to pay the same tax as everyone else is 'petrifying'. Imagine. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Nearly 10k signatories now.

Can NHS England please confirm they've carried out the equality impact assessment of cutting specific mental health services for NHS staff?

As a public body, this is their legal duty.

Given the high % of female & BME NHS staff, where is the EIA?

The length of GMC’s public consultation document on PAs - an eyewatering 300 pages - looks almost designed to be a barrier to meaningful engagement.

The BMA has produced a precis.

Please read. Please engage.

This is your NHS - make your views heard.

Thank you 💙

NHSE Board met this week
On the day 99% of GPs announced their rejection of the 24/25 Contract
One mention of GPs Amanda Pritchard ‘1.4m consultations happen in GP practices daily’
All further talk 2’ care, laughing & joking as General Practice burns having thrown GPs a bone 🦴🐕

Astonished & dismayed to see you put out this spin, Chris. You know as well as we do how inadequate (& underfunded) many trust mental health support services are.

NHS Practitioner Health provides a unique & vital service.

It has literally saved the lives of suicidal doctors (1/2)

8 years ago today.

Dagan Lonsdale & I started a peaceful protest outside Department of Health and Social Care to persuade Jeremy Hunt to avoid further strikes by getting back round the table to talk.

He refused to meet us.

The govt's still at it - bullying & infantilising junior doctors.

For shame.

I’ve reported Rishi Sunak to the North Yorkshire police as I believe he’s registered on the electoral roll there, whereas we all know his home is in Downing Street.
Repost if you believe that if this is true, he needs to resign.

Crisis communication speaks volumes at the poor leadership at NHS England

The incredible NHS Practitioner Health has saved lives, saved careers & supported so many staff. Now the funding is due to be cut for secondary care staff. Please consider signing this open letter to @nhsengland. Huge thanks to Dr Rachel Clarke for her eloquence and speed getting this done

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

Please sign this - Doctors & Health care staff need mental health support

Graphic that represents some of the increase workload in General Practice
The number of patients per individual GP has grown to 2300
An agreed safe number is 1800
Govt promised 5000 more GPs in 2015 & 6000 in 2019 but there are 2000 fewer
Govt is not funding retention of GPs
