We have been proud to provide sector support into research developing Best Practice for Managing Mental Health-Related Absence from Work by ACAS. 📋 👥 We commend ACAS for both their approach and their foresight addressing this topic across workplaces.

I recently marked National Suicide Memorial Day for Health and Care Workers by signing @catecclesstour's parliamentary motion.
ONS data indicates that an average of four healthcare workers die by suicide each week, a sobering reminder of the pressures faced by NHS staff.
The motion recognises the work of Doctors in Distress and NHS Practitioner Health in supporting healthcare professionals and calls on the Government to reaffirm its commitment to protecting staff wellbeing and mental health.

The campaign for healthcare workers in Northern Ireland to have life saving access to mental health support continues. The inequality is unacceptable. @SusannahBasile was hosted by @KarlBennett on @JustMentalPodcast to describe the campaign latest.
💙 David Cargill and colleagues at Norfolk and Suffolk ICB are launching the co-production phase of their service development for staff mental health. This will provide insight into how staff want to access services. Doctors in Distress looks forward to its learnings. 💙
