Our latest episode is being released on University Mental Health Day 2021, an initiative run by Student Minds and UHMAN. The day is designed to inspire conversations and so we thought what better way to mark the day than to bring you this episode with Dr. Dominique Thompson.

Dr. Dominique Thompson is an award winning GP, young people’s mental health expert, TEDx speaker, author and educator, with over 20 years of clinical experience caring for students, including as a police and expedition doctor, and as Director of Service at the University of Bristol Students’ Health Service. She was named Bristol Healthcare Professional of the Year 2017. In 2019 she was nominated as one of the Top 100 West Women of the Year.

We are massively grateful to Dominique for sharing some of her precious time with us - we spend the episode discussing her professional journey, the state of student mental health in 2021, the impact that Covid-19 has had on students, parents and supporters and the challenges they face in supporting modern students and so much more. We really hope you enjoy this episode.
