Medic Support

Medic Support is funded by Oxford Deanery to provide free, confidential help to trainee doctors and dentists in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.

Medical work is inherently stressful. Work-related and personal difficulties such as:

Workload responsibilities

Conflict with colleagues

Decision making

Relationship and family troubles

Grief and loss

Response to trauma

Emotional constraints

Low self esteem

may cause anxiety, stress, depression and unhappiness.

We know that as a group trainee doctors and dentists often find it difficult to acknowledge that they are stressed, or to ask for help. You may feel your problems are not serious enough or that you should be able to cope on your own. Or you may feel that it might be dangerous to discuss your feelings.

Medic Support provides an opportunity to talk through such concerns in a confidential environment away from work, and has been found to alleviate many of these problems.
