Welcome to the Medic Support Service
We are a free, confidential, NHS psychological therapy service for doctors, dentists and pharmacists in postgraduate training across the Thames Valley (Oxford Deanery). We offer brief CBT as well as signposting to other forms of support.
“The Medic Support service has been exceptional. The self-referral process was easy to navigate with a short waiting list. The sessions I had were excellent and have made a huge difference in my happiness and performance at work. I am so grateful to the service. Thank you.”
We are confidential
Many people working in healthcare, particularly those in training, can be nervous about approaching mental health services and sharing information that will be stored in an electronic health record. This can be a potential barrier to healthcare professionals seeking support and we would not want this to be the case for our service.
Should you have any concerns about confidentiality, or anything else that makes you hesitate to make a self-referral, please check our FAQs, see our Confidentiality Policy or contact us to discuss your questions. We will explain the support we offer and how we store personal data before you disclose anything personal to us. You can then choose whether you wish to proceed with making a self-referral.
Simply send a ‘general enquiry’ to our email inbox medic.support@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk
