The anti-GP media rhetoric has certainly, to my mind, had a negative effect on the mental health of GPs. I really hope that those who have participated in this coverage will be held to account one day.\u2019\n\nA list of resources for mental health support and wellbeing is also available for Doctors\u2019 Association UK <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dauk.org\/mental-health-and-wellbeing-resources\/\">here.<\/a>&#8221;\n\nRead the full story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pulsetoday.co.uk\/news\/clinical-areas\/mental-health-and-addiction\/record-numbers-of-gps-seeking-help-with-anxiety-stress-and-sleeping-difficulties\/\">her<\/a>e.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pulse Today has reported that &#8220;NHS Practitioner Health has warned that a record number of GPs are turning to its services to receive help with&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dauk-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1130"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1130\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
