DOCTORS IN DISTRESS

To promote the value of positive mental health for doctors and all those in the medical profession

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
