Learn not blame

"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.

Compassionate culture

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

Safer Medical Allied Professions

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.

Greener NHS

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.

International Medical Graduates

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.

A non-profit organisation led by frontline doctors

Doctors possess a strong vocational commitment to their work, making it only logical that frontline doctors should play a key role in shaping UK healthcare policy.

We must ensure that our collective voice reaches the government, demanding to be heard during policy development. It is equally important to engage with media outlets that shape public opinion on the state of the NHS.

None of this is happening, leaving doctors feeling unheard, powerless, and disenfranchised.

Things need to change, and the Doctors' Association UK is committed to driving that change.

We are a strictly non-profit campaigning and lobbying organisation made up of UK doctors and medical students. We advocate for the medical profession and patients, fighting for a better NHS for everyone.

Until now, the voices of UK doctors have not been heard collectively. We stand for a better NHS—stand with us.
