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 doesnโt invest the same care in expensive and vital staff. simplypsychiatry.co.uk/sitebโฆ

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" theguardian.com/society/2003โฆ

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.

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. ๐ข

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

The honesty in the discussions at #WoundedHealer22 is incredible.
Like others who have commented, I came close to ending my life. I had 2 young children, a husband.
My job was breaking me.
This happens across the country.
Again and again.
