So relieved to read this announcement - PHP to remain open to 2ary care staff for further 12 months.

[NHS Practitioner Health @NHSPracHealth]

Important service update.

[Dr Richard Duggins @rduggins]

@HealthRegLawyer @NHSPracHealth The Independent Inquiry is still very relevant today. Key reading for anyone in the NHS. It powerfully states that hospitals routinely maintain their expensive and vital machines. However, the NHS doesn’t invest the same care in expensive and vital staff. https://t.co/njsk6zRkXM

[Andrea James @HealthRegLawyer]

This is the case which preempted the establishment of @NHSPracHealth which NHSE now wishes to de-fund. We shouldn't forget how appalling it was & the level of stigma which many healthcare professionals STILL feel.
"Dr Daksha Emson, an Indian doctor who secretly battled against manic depression as she built a promising career, died nearly three weeks after she stabbed her child, Freya, then herself, then doused them both in an inflammable substance and set it alight" https://t.co/xJNHoyhr4N

Agree 100%

[Dr Richard Duggins @rduggins]

I have worked with NHS Practitioner Health for almost a decade. First as a clinical lead and now as a psychiatrist. A CQC-rated Outstanding service. We need to care for our NHS staff so they can care for their patients.

@lucyjwarner @NHSPracHealth So sorry to read this Lucy after everyone’s hard work over decades 🫂

This news is so disappointing after all of the progress in mental health support for both doctors and other staff in the last several years. 😢

I used to think that my emotional vulnerability was something to be ashamed of. Weakness. Failure.

But here I am a few yrs on, alive, happy and considering going back to medicine.

This is my story. I share it because we have to talk

Richard Jones from @NHSPracHealth at #WoundedHealer22 ‘mental illness from health work should be considered an industrial injury.’ This shouldn’t still need saying in 2022 - but it does! 🫂🩺 #physicianhealth #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter
