5K In May
Campaign by Doctors in Distress (RCN 1184953 (England & Wales), SC049715 (Scotland))
This year our 5K in May campaign encourages you to take ‘One Step Forward’, both in terms of the physical challenge but also for healthcare workers to reach out for support by taking a step in the right direction

Story

We are researchers from "Care under Pressure", a series of projects where we are trying to better understand what can help the mental health and wellbeing of doctors and other healthcare staff. Our research has made us realise just how much challenge many doctors are facing.

We were shocked to hear that, 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 we are taking part in #5KInMay, to help them be able to continue this vital support.

Thank you so much to everyone for your kind donations.
