Exploring financial difficulty and help-seeking behaviour among medics in the United Kingdom: a cross-sectional survey

Experiences of financial insecurity among medics are extremely common. Our study has highlighted that LGBTQ + medics and those with a non-UK PMQ may be particularly vulnerable to financial problems as well as those with a disability or caring role. Education and workplace mechanisms of financial support may be underutilised by medics with disabilities, those with a non-UK PMQ, and those in postgraduate settings more broadly. Institutions should seek to improve awareness and accessibility of financial support.
