To all the newly qualified doctors starting this weekโฆ Welcome! Look after each other. Self care is crucial. Listen to your colleagues. Be kind. Itโs ok not to know something. Learn from those with experience. Iโm still learning and Iโm 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

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NHS England has withdrawn funding for the mental health support provided by NHS Practitioner Health to secondary care staff.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 ๐ https://t.co/8DeLl4FTcM

.@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 doctorsโ lives. Now, the service is being destroyed and (1/2)

NHS Practitioner Health is a vital service. We save lives. We keep staff in the workforce. We provide expert care to allow NHS staff to care for their patients. Secondary care staff need us more than ever & we hope for a positive outcome. #NHSPH @doctor_oxford @amateuradam
Breaking/ Appalling news that @DHSCgovuk has decided to stop funding mental health services for hospital doctors from Monday. When I was broken & traumatised during Covid, sessions with an @NHSPracHealth psychologist helped me back on my feet. How can the govt suspend this?

The decision to stop Practitioner Health makes me think- either it's intentional to make NHS even more unworkable; or there's a lack of genuine understanding, or wilful blindness, to psychological needs- stiff upper lip. Either way it's depressing & good to see a TON of pushback

Funding for Practitioner Health for hospital doctors is set to be stopped from Monday - and we're calling for the decision to be urgently reversed. https://t.co/MzGRYRmCFu
