About Doctors in Distress

Shockingly, in the UK alone, one doctor dies by suicide every three weeks, and one nurse every week. These numbers underpin the urgent need for mental health resources and support within the healthcare community.

Doctors in Distress provide initiatives to promote and protect the mental health of all health workers through a range of free programmes. This is why Wesleyan are supporting #5KInMay with our own walking challenge.
