FEEDBACK

"I want to say thank you for your time and attention to me over the last number of months as I began my recovery from a difficult and traumatic time."

"When I found the email address for Practitioner Health I was relieved. It took a few days for me to make contact. You replied quickly. When you phoned and I wondered if my dilemma was worth discussing, your reply with the assurance that is was, mattered enormously. The additional matter of being seen soon continued this welcome and unfamiliar sense of being taken care of in a timely humane way."

"When I heard you say that your time and service was free of charge to me, I felt a huge sense of generosity being shown to me and it restored something. I find it difficult to explain why I felt such gratitude but I think it had something to do with feeling that I really belonged to a community that valued me and my recovery, that this was important enough to have a service funded for people like me so that there would be no barrier to my getting help."

"I was ashamed to be unwell in the multiple ways I was and had concluded that I was beyond help to return to work. Being offered time and space in the company of an experienced other human being who was able to be the 'giver' with nothing required from me other than my presence was humbling but quietly and unexpectedly a turning point. I mattered and it was important that I recovered whatever my ultimate decision."

"Thank you again for your time and experience, both as a doctor and human being. I am very grateful for the enterprise that is Practitioner Health and have alerted colleagues to it."

“Practitioners Health Matters Programme (PHMP) and Dr Delargy have saved my life and my career. PHMP is a gift that I did not feel I deserved at many times during my recovery and the relief that such a service existed to a group of people who are trained to be impervious to flaws was a relief and a surprise, especially in this country where young practitioners are exposed to so much abuse."
