Thank you Dr Rachel Clarke and Natalie Silvey for writing the letter, with such speed and flair. 12 months is not long, it’s not over yet.

Well done for reading the room and promptly responding. Clearly this is a valued service, and important at a time when clinicians do not feel valued. 🙏

Dear NHS England Workforce, Training and Education Chris Hopson Victoria Atkins
You know wellbeing/health support for NHS staff is essential
If there is any doubt of the benefit/value of NHS Practitioner Health please read this 🧵
TY Dr Lucy Henshall FRCGP - Being Lucy for being open and sharing your recovery story #Retention

Headlines for year end 2023 ⁦NHS Practitioner Health⁩ 22/24 figures still being collated but you get the drift. We are seeing more per month now than at peak of covid

Over 3000 signatories in less than 6 hours.

This is a service that's saved multiple NHS doctors from suicide.

Why aren't you listening, Amanda Pritchard, Victoria Atkins, NHS England?

Why don't you care?

Do you really think so little now of those pandemic 'heroes'???

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.

There's been a huge outpouring of support for NHS Practitioner Health on here.

We now need action, advocacy & lobbying from our Royal Colleges
