Welcome to all our new followers 💙

At You Okay, Doc? we believe healthcare professionals are human too.

Every 3 weeks, a doctor dies by su***de.
Every week, a nurse dies by su***de.

These are not just statistics. They are colleagues, friends, parents, partners and teammates.

We exist to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health in healthcare and to ensure every healthcare professional knows that support is available.

Today, we have one ask.
Check in with a colleague.
Ask them:
“Are you okay?”

And if someone needs support, share our Shout helpline.
📱 Text YOD to 85258

Together, we can create a culture where no healthcare professional suffers alone.

Watch more of the story here 👀

Tony is a consultant anaesthetist at Barts NHS Hospital Trust, who as a young trainee responded to the London bombings (7/7).

He was later diagnosed with PTSD at a time when no formal
support was available.
Twelve years later, Tony launched The Theatre Wellbeing
Project – an initiative that embeds psychological wellbeing into
the working day of theatre staff who regularly experience and
witness trauma.

He speaks openly now because his authenticity gives others
permission to speak.

Some days feel heavier than others.
And when you work in healthcare, it can become easy to carry that weight.

Sometimes the smallest things help most:
💜 Fresh air and movement
💜 Messaging someone who gets it

This July, we’re inviting our community to do both.

Join the You Okay, Doc? Hike in July challenge, walk, hike, move, connect, and help raise vital funds to support healthcare professionals struggling with their mental health.

Whether it’s a solo walk after shift, a weekend hike with friends, or getting your whole team involved, every step helps start conversations that matter.

Because nobody should have to struggle alone.

As we come to the end of Mental Health Awareness Week, we want you to know you are not alone.

This week we’ve shared real stories, real quotes & real conversations.

Looking after others shouldn’t come at the cost of yourself.

Whether you are a Dr, a nurse, a physiotherapist, OT, HCA, ODP or any other health care professional just remember to ask one another ‘Are you okay?’

If you are a healthcare professional watching this, you don’t have to carry it all on your own.

This week we are sharing real stories, real support and real conversations.

Looking after others shouldn’t come at the cost of yourself.

As we continue through Mental Health Awareness week, we are reminded of the stark statistics that 60% of doctors & 74% of nurses experience burnout.

This week just take a moment to check on your colleagues and ask ‘Are you okay?’

11/05/2026

It is Mental Health Awareness week.

We are asking every healthcare professional to do one thing this week:

Check in on your colleagues.

Not just the ones visibly struggling.
Not just the ones off sick.
Not just the ones people are worried about.

Check in on the dependable ones.
The quiet ones.
The strong ones.
The people who always seem okay.

Because too often in healthcare, survival becomes performance. We learn to keep functioning no matter what is happening underneath. We become experts at coping publicly while struggling privately.
And right now, the pressures across healthcare are immense.

So this week, just ask one colleage, “Are you okay?”
