About EveryDoctor

We believe in a future where every patient is safe.

UK doctors devote their lives to the care of others, and patients' wellbeing will always be of paramount importance to us.

We believe in a future where every doctor’s wellbeing matters.

‍Doctors function with inadequate support; unsustainable work pressures have led to widespread burnout. Every doctor should be supported in pursuit of their vital work. We will fight for universally decent, safe working conditions and will campaign to win the changes required to fix this broken system.

We believe in a future where doctors' expertise is valued.

We will challenge misleading media messaging about health, doctors, and the NHS. We will promote fair, evidence-based thinking in health-related policy and in the press coverage it attracts.

BAME individuals are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 due to institutional racism. We must challenge racism in all aspects of society. Thank you to @EveryDoctor for being vocal about the workplace discrimination faced by NHS Doctors. This must change. pic.twitter.com/U4vucZXCX8
