Survey of doctors

A survey of doctors in Wales has recently been carried out looking at both the level of mental dis-ease and stress among doctors and also what sources of help they turn to or would like to have available.  The results will be disseminated when they have been analysed and will help us to develop DSN to meet the needs of doctors.

‘Doctors as Patients’ hits the bookshops

Doctors, as strong, clever, resourceful professionals, are heir to human frailty and illness, like anyone else. This is a book about doctors, many fully-functioning, practising doctors, who suffer from mental illnesses, and the unique insights and problems that arise when the doctor is the patient.

Doctors as Patients provides lessons for doctors treating doctors and for doctors who are ill or may suffer illness in the future.  Doctors, medical students, occupational health specialists and policy makers will be able to use this book as an explanation, a life-line, a vital reference and, most importantly, a reinforcement of shared humanity. 

Why not buy a copy for your local medical library – or yourself!
