One doctor takes their life every three weeks, Victoria Atkins. How can you possibly countenance slashing psychological support services for a deeply traumatised post-Covid NHS workforce? It’s pure vindictiveness.
In The Slump, you up the support for disaster responders. You don’t take it away. We have been telling you that for four years NHS England
💥 NHS STAFF 💥 Please consider signing this open letter to Victoria Atkins & Amanda Pritchard at NHS England expressing your dismay at their extraordinary decision to cut NHS Practitioner Health funding for hospital staff. Please share widely 🙏 Letter here: forms.gle/YmXpi8dxSbW7UR…
A reminder why NHS Practitioner Health was first set up - after the heartbreaking tragedy of a doctor who so feared stigma from colleagues she felt unable to seek mental health support - & killed herself & her baby daughter. Please don't defund this vital service, NHS England 🙏
