We couldn’t be prouder of everything that medics are doing up and down the country to serve and protect us all. Whether you have 30 years’ service or are being drafted in from medical school for the first time, we are truly thankful.

Here at Medic Footprints our mission is simple: to stand with you every step of the way. Specifically, our battle plan will focus on the following to help you get through the coming months:

1) To be your first port of call for all wellbeing and opportunities things related to COVID-19 on our dedicated wiki pages. We will aggregate all relevant information concerning the latest official guidance; virtual support groups and events; community forums; services and opportunities

2) Enabling our premium members to promote doctor-related activities on the Medic Footprints website for free, as well as making available our online meeting platform for events and groups

Our goal is to enable you to get the information and community support you need at this generation-defining moment.You’ll begin to see new content over the next few days, and what’s more, our new Medic Footprints website will launch in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you would like us to promote relevant groups and events for doctors, or make use of our online video tool.

We’d also love to hear your ideas about what more you need from us.
