Welcome to Health for Health Professionals
The Health for Health Professionals website has been developed to support doctors with health problems, their families and those involved in their treatment. The site aims to signpost to those services which can assist doctors with health problems find the information and support they require.
Musculoskeletal and Skin Disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders are one of the most common causes of severe long-term pain and disability and affect a large number of healthcare workers.
Mental Health Issues
Evidence shows that doctors are more likely to suffer from mental health issues, including depression, stress and anxiety, than other groups of workers and professionals.
Substance Misuse
The British Medical Association estimates that one doctor in 15 could have some form of drug or alcohol dependence in their career.
Supporting You
Factors such as social isolation, family cohesion and financial anxiety can contribute to ill health.
It is important to remember that NCAS and the GMC may be able to provide support.
Many of the Royal Colleges have well developed support services, and your local Deanery may be able to advise you of programmes or services in your area; we would advise that you contact them for additional support.
