Contact DSN

DSN facilitates informal peer support via our online, anonymous, confidential network (for DSN members only).

We also aim to raise awareness, reduce stigma and influence the agenda regarding physician health - particularly mental health.

Our primary contact medium is email - ALL external queries need to be directed via the CONTACT form below. Please read the ALL of the advice below before contacting DSN.

We do not have a physical office and therefore do not have a postal address or telephone number. DSN is run by volunteer members in their spare time. Your email will receive a response as soon as possible.

NO INDIVIDUAL MEDICAL ADVICE GIVEN
