And can be accessed by self referral if appropriate. 2022-02-08T08:14:18Z Comment by Simon Andrews Wouldn't it be good to build strategies into Medical Education in the UK that firmly embed psychological self care and supervision both individually and together corporately as doctors in teams together, looking after each other's wellbeing too. NHSPH is a valuable first step but now we need the prevention sytematically embedded from day 1 -or more realistically, perhaps, day 2? 2022-02-08T08:11:54Z Comment by Simon Andrews Thank you so much for your openness and bravery, the stigma of being human and vulnerable and sometimes ill amongst doctors is alive and unwell and unhelpful but that dark tide is slowly receding and this will become part of sorting it. Thank you. 2022-02-08T08:08:48Z
