We have written to Amanda Pritchard and Victoria Atkins about our concerns that NHS England is decommissioning NHS Practitioner Health services.
We are concerned about the effect on ALL staff, and particularly concerned that women and IMG doctors will be disproportionately affected
Good morning to all relevant and responsible in NHS England NHS England Workforce, Training and Education
Please do NOT dismiss the NHS Practitioner Health issue as a โsmall social media debateโ
๐๐ฝDo the right thing
๐๐ฝReinstate the service
๐๐ฝShow the relevant leadership-for once
Thank you
Regards
NHS England staff
Thank you Royal College of Psychiatrists - hope other colleges will follow soon!! Such a fundamental support #NHS NHS England
2 things to mention
1. If you are surprised at this? You haven't been noticing how dismal NHS England Workforce, Training and Education
leaders have been in looking after the workforce
2. If you work for NHSE, suggest raise it firmly- publicly & privately as one to reconsider
I will with Victoria Atkin too
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 ๐
Great work and vision ๐๐ will be fantastic to offer robotic surgery for complex non cancer gynae surgery ensuring equitable access for all Barts Health !!
Would be amazing to be able to replicate this University Hospitals Sussex
