I received a message from a dr who read this article for @bmj_latest on domestic violence saying thank you: “I was in an abusive relationship and have long felt ashamed. This has helped.” bmj.com/content/391/bm… I am now so glad that I wrote it. #NHSDAAD

Today ironically is the first ever NHS DA awareness day As we end #16DaysOfActivism2025 it’s important we continue the conversation linkedin.com/posts/rachaell…?

@ecogwendoc @TheDA_UK @AdeleWatersRx @medicalwomenuk @NHSDAAware Please take a look at the @TheDA_UK website. There are resources available and evidence of actions and steps being taken. We know awareness is just the first step. More work to be done, but it is being done. DAUK and MWF will cont to push for change.

Today is the first NHS Domestic Abuse Awareness Day, established by @TheDA_UK and @medicalwomenuk, calling for better support staff who may be experiencing domestic abuse: ow.ly/T8nh50XGMSS ‘It’s vital that healthcare institutions have clear easily accessible information and resources so that individuals know where to turn, and so that colleagues and managers can respond with empathy, compassion and confidentiality.’ @Mumtaz_Patel_1 #NHSDAAD @NHSDAAware

#16DaysOfActivism | Ahead of #NHSDAAD, we're encouraging people to sign an open letter calling for mandatory safeguarding training and systemic learning from cases across the judiciary ⬇️ dauk.org/call-for-judic…

PCN partner Hickings Lane Medical Centre is supporting the first NHS Domestic Abuse Awareness Day today and the ongoing White Ribbon campaign, alongside Broxtowe Women’s Project. #NHSDAAD shines a light on the high prevalence of domestic abuse among healthcare professionals.

Abuse isn’t always obvious at first. It builds over time, slowly dismantling your identity while convincing you it’s your fault. #DomesticAbuseAwareness

@bmj_latest @AdeleWatersRx Thank you for your excellent article @AdeleWatersRx #nhsdaad

Domestic abuse in NHS workers is a “silent pandemic,” with some research finding that they are three times as likely to experience it. @AdeleWatersRx finds that the NHS needs to do more to end a “double layered stigma” affecting clinicians bmj.com/content/391/bm…

@bmj_latest This was a tough feature to research. Thank you to all the women who shared your important stories with me and to the @TheDA_UK @medicalwomenuk @SeemaHaider1 @TheBMA and the Bristol Research on the Intersection of Gender, Health and Trauma @BristolUni & Dr Emily Donovan.
