Doctors’ Association UK (DAUK): The voice of frontline doctors
The Doctors’ Association UK (DAUK) is a campaigning and lobbying group of doctors and medical students.
It is made up of frontline doctors, who campaign and fight for a better NHS alongside their busy jobs.
DAUK’s committee members engage with the media on issues that impact the medical profession and patients.
It has strong links to the Medical Journalist’s Association, supporting the annual symposium and the MJA awards, and is also building a media directory made up of doctors who are happy to speak with journalists (accessible via the members area of our website)
Through the directory, DAUK is able to give a voice to the profession, allowing doctors to speak as DAUK members.
Please email our press officer Andy Mann for interview requests and email our Press inbox to be added to our press list.
