NHS Practitioner Health (PH) is a National (England wide) service for doctors, dentists, and health and care staff with mental health and addiction issues that may affect their ability to work safely and effectively or return to work. The PH service also covers health and care staff located in Scotland through an agreement with the Scottish government. The service aims to deliver positive outcomes in relation to: Improvement in mental health and social functioning Numbers returning to work/retraining Reduction in risk to patients and the public Reduction in regulatory involvement NHS Practitioner Health will improve access to mental health support for health and care staff suffering from mental ill-health, including stress and burnout. It supports retaining practitioners as part of the NHS England plan to maintain a healthy and resilient workforce and assists practitioners wishing to return to clinical practice after a period of ill health. The service provides online and telephone support and offers a hybrid approach for staff to be seen for face-to-face or virtual assessment, treatment, therapeutic interventions, and ongoing case management. Each region has a Clinical Lead responsible for acting as a local champion, with a network of clinicians and therapists delivering care and support across the geographical area. PH practitioner patients come from diverse gender, age, and ethnicity groups. Around 80% of patients accessing PH are expected to have a mental health concern, and around 20% will have issues related to substance misuse. This balance may change as the service develops. A proportion of our patients may be involved in regulatory processes, and we offer support to help resolve issues before a patient safety incident or complaint occurs.
