The mental health and wellbeing of the medical profession is a national priority. Improving the wellbeing of doctors and medical students is a key enabler of quality patient care and healthier communities.

National Doctors Health & Wellbeing Leadership Alliance (NLA)

In 2023, Drs4Drs convened the National Doctors Health & Wellbeing Leadership Alliance with the purpose of facilitating coordinated action across the medical sector on the national Every Doctor Every Setting Framework (EDES Framework).

The EDES Framework was originally developed with the support of medical leaders in Australia. Based on the best available evidence and advice from doctors, doctors in training, medical students, mental health and suicide prevention experts and other key stakeholders, the Framework was designed to drive action on the mental health and wellbeing of doctors and medical students across all settings and all stages of career.
