Doctors Health Advisory Services

DNA Medical Recruitment has partnered with DHAS: The Doctors’ Health Advisory Service (NSW) aims to ensure that every doctor, dentist, veterinarian or student in these professions has ready access to health care.

 

About DHAS

The Doctors’ Health Advisory Service (DHAS) operates a Help Line in NSW offering personal advice to medical practitioners and students facing difficulties. Medical practitioners concerned about their own health, the health of a colleague or family member who is a doctor or medical student can call the DHAS for advice. In New South Wales, this service also extends to veterinarians, dentists and students of those professions.

Callers often seek advice in relation to stress, mental health issues, drug and alcohol problems, career crises and personal and relationship difficulties. Our experienced medical professionals understand the many challenges faced by practitioners and students.

DHAS strongly recommends that all practitioners and students have their own GP.

Why we partnered with DHAS

​DNA Medical Recruitment is proud to announce we are collaborating with Doctors’ Health Advisory Service NSW (DHAS), and we will be promoting them as a charity of choice going forward.

Together with DHAS’ Medical Director Dr Kathryn Hutt and her team we have planned an exciting fund-raising event towards the backend of 2021 to raise awareness for what we believe is one of the most important services for doctors. There will be more about this event over the coming weeks but for the moment let’s explore who DHAS are, why they are such a critical service and why DNA has chosen to promote them.

As a medical recruitment agency providing locum doctors nationally and across many different working environments, we recognize the stresses and strains that come with being a doctor.
