“Shruti’s Tree”: UK’s first memorial to health workers who take their own lives.

Adam Kay, who wrote This Is Going To Hurt, and was adapted into a BBC series, says NHS suicide rate needs to be spoken about more - with one doctor dying every 3 weeks.

Doctors in Distress took part a the event at Ealing hospital. The founder of the charity, Amandip Sidhu, lost his brother, Jagdip, in 2018 when he took his own life, and the event holds even more significance, as Jagdip began his career at Ealing Hospital.

A new report from IPPO, Rand Europe and the University of East Anglia published in June, revealed that almost half of NHS staff (47%) reported feeling unwell as a result of work-related stress in the past 12 months.
