SOM Position Statement on Mental Health and Work

Posted by Ann Caluori | Fri, 11/09/2026 - 12:00

SOM has today published a Position Statement on Mental Health and Work.

SOM welcomes the progress made in reducing stigma surrounding mental ill health in the UK, however, we are keen that greater awareness does not lead to the over-medicalisation of common emotional challenges that arise both at work and in everyday life. Making this distinction is important for employees, employers and the wider healthcare system.
