A charity committed to eradicating stigma, change behaviours & cultures and promote the value of good leadership to reduce suicide rates of medical doctors.
our corporate objectives
Raise awareness of these issues in the public domain to encourage society to have an improved consideration and understanding of the medical profession that cares for them.
Our primary goal is to reduce stigma, change behaviours & cultures and promote the values of good leadership to reduce the prevalance of burn-out and suicide amongst medical doctors of all disciplines working in the NHS. We will....
Positively campaign for culture change within the medical profession and NHS to remove the stigma associated with Doctor burn-out resulting from them having heavy workloads and operating in a high pressure and stressful environment.
Encourage a wider organisational responsibility for the working environments of doctors that include the value of their mental wellbeing for the positive benefit of the NHS, its workforce and the patients they serve.
Independently and without prejudice, direct doctors to approved and secure confidential resources so that they can get help when dealing with wellbeing/burn-out/stress issues.
Tragic loss for those that cared for us.
A tribute to all #NHSheroes who sacrificed their lives from British International Doctors. @CNagpaul @doctorcm9 @KailashChandOBE @drpshukla @itvnews @guardian @DailyMailUK @Telegraph @SkyNews @Sotlive @TheDA_UK @BAPIOUK @jsbamrah @MANSAG_uk @Channel4News @MattHancock @NHSEngland
Just written a piece on grieving with @joyful_doctor - top message staff in health & care need time & space to grieve (to make visible & bear witness to our collective losses: to talk, digest & reflect - together), ahead of rushing to services as ‘normal’.
