Bullying & harassment costs NHS £2 billion annually. Shocking but sadly unsurprising. The hesitation to call out racism, compared to sexism, shows the urgent need for antiracism & compassionate leadership as it saves costs & lives

By way of introductions
I'm Jess

I was a paediatrician when burnout & mental illness happened.

In 2019 I left medicine & retrained as a primary teacher.

But I missed being a dr.

I now work non-clinically in the medical wellbeing space.

Life isn't linear!
Careers don't have to be either.
