"Learn Not Blame" is DAUK’s central campaign, launched in Parliament on the 20th November 2018. We aim to empower individual doctors to be part of a transformational change process, working towards a revolution in the culture of the NHS.

The NHS is Britain’s greatest treasure. Yet it still harbours a culture of hierarchy where bullying, harassment and appalling training environments go unchallenged.

DAUK firmly opposes the Government's plans for physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) to be regulated by the General Medical Council (GMC). We are working with multiple stakeholders to maintain patient safety.

DAUK is actively campaigning for a greener NHS because the climate crisis and health crisis are interlinked. The effects of climate change, such as extreme weather events and rising temperatures, directly impact public health, leading to increased cases of heat-related illnesses, respiratory conditions, and other health issues.

One in four doctors working in the NHS are international medical graduates who have migrated to the UK or trained abroad. Despite their crucial role in filling staffing gaps amidst a severe shortage of 10,000 doctors, recent political decisions have left many IMGs feeling unwelcome.
