Our three outstanding Presidential election candidates have been answering your questions!

Presidential candidates 2023-23

Members have been submitting questions for our candidates across a wide range of issues, and each week we’re publishing a new batch of questions and answers.

We started last week with six questions on subjects ranging from digital transformation to psychiatrists working outside the NHS, and a key question for any election: ‘What makes you stand out?’.

On Monday we published three new questions, which cover addictions psychiatry as a core skill, the need to ensure patient-centred compassionate care, and support for members who experience patient suicide or homicide.
