If you are experiencing stress at work, we also encourage you to make use of our list of UK-wide resources. Whether you are in Scotland, England, Wales or Northern Ireland, working in private practice or NHS, in the salaried services or a member of the wider dental team, there are services available to support your mental health and wellbeing.
Members, who would like to talk, are encouraged to access Health Assured, our comprehensive confidential service designed to help you deal with personal and professional problems. You can access the helpline 24/7, 365 days a year to discuss any issues that are affecting your home life or work life, health, or general wellbeing. Not just a listening ear – legal information, bereavement support, and online cognitive behavioural therapy are also included.
