Doctors' health

Looking after your own health is just as important as looking after your patients.

We understand that medicine is a challenging and stressful profession. While making care for your patient your priority, we appreciate that you can be susceptible to health problems yourself. 

This site contains a range of advice for those of you with health concerns; help for those who are successfully managing your health conditions and those who are referred to the GMC for health related reasons.
