‘Dying to help’: female doctor suicide and the NHS workforce crisis

Angharad Natalie de Cates Honorary Research Fellow, Unit of Mental Health and Wellbeing, Warwick Medical School, University of Warwick I’m an academically-focused psychiatry registrar, with research interests including mental wellbeing, mood disorder, psychopharmacology, and self-harm. I also have insight on this subject as an under-35, part-time, female junior doctor who shares pre-school childcare duties with a fellow medical partner. I also experienced the UK junior doctor crisis of 2016 in the context of a BMA junior local negotiating committee representative.
