In <24 hours 7000 NHS staff have signed this open letter condemning @NHSEngland’s decision to defund vital, life-saving mental health support for doctors.
Please keep sharing & signing.

Are we really worth so very little?
NEW: Britain's top psychiatrist has told @ITVNews the state of mental health care in the UK is 'shameful.'

We would have made progress
But you don't
And that? Is a fact.
Whether you’re a foundation doctor who will soon have to make a decision about which medical specialty to choose, or a medical student considering your future options, find out more about a career in psychiatry. #ChoosePsychiatry
