Or, do one better…team up across your region and pay your rotating doctors centrally.

And/or give longer placements in one department to those of us approaching the end of the training. Stability matters

NHS managers. If you’d like to know how you can make doctors lives better, change your HR processes do we don’t have to fill in all the same stuff as any other new employee.

Providing 3 years of referees and employment history when I’m rotating back to you is a waste of time.

This is a welcome (if temporary) relief. Thank you to all @NHSPracHealth & @NHSEngland who’ve listened to the outcry and realised how essential this service is. Both life and career saving for so many. Please fight to continue, so many of us will testify to how essential you are!

Important service update.

Laughing out loud at the idea that rotational trainees can access help via “their employer’s health and wellbeing schemes”. Occ health wait times are longer than most DiTs posts. And no chance of continuity of care when you’re employed by a different trust every 6-12 months

Lots of comment on @NHSPracHealth support service. For clarity. @NHS England is committed to ensuring all NHS staff receive the mental health support they need. The vast majority of this provision is, and always has been, via their employer’s health and wellbeing schemes... 1/x

Please sign and share…I’m gobsmacked that @NHSEngland think that providing services that help many doctors stay in work is not worth the money.

Please consider signing this open letter to @VictoriaAtkins & @AmandaPritchard at @NHSEngland expressing your dismay at their extraordinary decision to cut @NHSPracHealth funding for hospital staff.

Please share widely 🙏
