#crazysocks4Docs and @Ahpra & @amapresident - the rules need to change so a Dr can have a confidential discussion with their GP about their mental health without fear of AHPRA. @RuralDoctorsAus

On Crazy Socks for Docs Day @RACGP board members got in the action to remind all health professionals that they need to take care of their own mental health. We also must change rules that discourage GPs from seeking mental healthcare. It's okay to not be okay. #crazysocks4docs
