Our survey findings revealing 2 in 3 UK doctors suffer moral distress made The Guardian front page today.
Dr John Holden, Chief Medical Officer at MDDUS said:
"The results reveal the full extent of the psychological damage a worryingly large number of doctors experience because of problems they encounter in their working lives that they feel powerless to fix."

Dr @GordonMcDavid shares his personal perspective of the workplace challenges facing LGBTQ healthcare professionals.

ALT The LGBTQ community is diverse, with a huge range of potential health needs, not to mention the well-publicised health inequalities that LGBTQ people experience. And that’s why it’s fantastic that Pride now occupies a more prominent position in society.

Our own survey revealed that lack of access to affordable food is leaving junior doctors feeling hungry and exhausted. Dr Naeem Nazem responds: mddus.com/about-us/media-cen…
ALT This is a major issue with a simple solution – provide round-the-clock access to nutritious food at a reasonable price. I urge policymakers to take urgent action to stop our young doctors from going hungry at work.
