The problem is that, you know, you might say that we\u2019re in the peak of this in a week or a couple of weeks from now, and perhaps things will start to get better. But in terms of the work for the NHS, it certainly won\u2019t stop there, and we have long backlogs of planned care that has been cancelled that we\u2019ll need to catch up on. <\/p><p>And then obviously we will need to come to terms with what\u2019s happened. But we won\u2019t be able to just stop, we won\u2019t be able to give everybody a break. They will need to continue on, and that\u2019s when I think that we will really see the real surge in problems with mental health.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Dr Natalie Ashburner, DAUK Vice-Chair<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dr Natalie Ashburner, DAUK Vice-Chair on Al Jazeera 11\/01\/21\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d6iwTJieXbg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Natalie Ashburner, Vice-Chair of DAUK and an NHS psychiatrist, spoke to Al Jazeera about the impact the Covid-19 pandemic is having on the mental&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[91,65,29],"tags":[52,373,44,38,39,128,132,178,312],"class_list":["post-670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-compassionate-culture","category-dauk-news","category-protect-the-frontline","tag-protectthefrontline","tag-al-jazeera","tag-covid-19","tag-dauk","tag-doctors-association-uk","tag-dr-natalie-ashburner","tag-nhs","tag-tv","tag-tv-covid-19"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670","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=670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
