Excited about this new post @trinity_hospice for a nurse consultant, please help spread the word @elzF @claude_chidiac @DavidKay15 @IOELC trinityhospice.co.uk/about-us/work-…

To all the newly qualified doctors starting this week… Welcome! Look after each other. Self care is crucial. Listen to your colleagues. Be kind. It’s ok not to know something. Learn from those with experience. I’m still learning and I’m starting FY20. #FoundationDoctors #FY1

Delighted to see @NHSEngland & @NavinaEvans U-turn on their appalling decision to cut @NHSPracHealth mental health support for hospital doctors. The 16k responses to our open letter of protest were crystal clear - this service is vital & necessary. Cut it at your peril. 1/2

The response to our announcement has been overwhelming, with an outpouring of support and love for the service. Many people, including current and former patients as well as senior leaders and stakeholders, have shared stories of their experiences with the service and how we have impacted on their health, careers and in many cases saved lives. On behalf of the team, we would like to thank everyone who has shown their support. It has meant so much to all of us. We will keep you updated via our website when we know more, but please know that even if we are relatively silent, there are significant amounts of work going on behind the scenes.

I would say this is good news, but u-turning on a decision that should never have been taken is not good enough. All this episode has done is reveal the underlying disregard for staff and their wellbeing. Practitioner Health is an outstanding service.

An extraordinary response in less than 24 hours, over 7000 signatories to the letter about the decision to defund @NHSPracHealth for secondary care staff. The strength of feeling is huge, this is such a valuable service! @AmandaPritchard please intervene.

Over 3000 signatories in less than 6 hours. This is a service that's saved multiple NHS doctors from suicide. Why aren't you listening, @AmandaPritchard, @VictoriaAtkins, @NHSEngland? Why don't you care? Do you really think so little now of those pandemic "heroes"???

Now over 4000 signatories. We are coming out to support @NHSPracHealth because it works. On a plane the guidance is to put your oxygen mask on before helping others. This service for many of us has been our life and career saving oxygen mask - allowing us to help others.

NHS England has withdrawn funding for the mental health support provided by NHS Practitioner Health to secondary care staff. This is deeply concerning, at a time when "mental health support for NHS staff is needed now more than ever." @romanpsych 👉 bps.org.uk/news/bps-respo…

.@MattHancock Matt, we have disagreed on a lot of things you did in office, but one huge lasting achievement of yours was expanding the services of NHS Practitioner Health after we met early in your tenure. This saved doctors’ lives. Now, the service is being destroyed and (1/2)
