Provide better mental health training and support for NHS staff

Closed 221 signatures

What the petition asks

The government is not doing enough to combat mental health issues in NHS staff, and we believe that more support should be in place for workers who are suffering, to avoid tragedies like the ones we have already seen in the future.
At least two junior doctors in the last year have committed suicide, and one is currently missing

This is unacceptable. The government must care for NHS staff as those staff so diligently care for the public.
