Abstract
Frontline health care professionals have experienced rapid changes to workloads and work-related pressures during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in anxiety, depression, and mental health stressors. For working professionals engaged in postgraduate pharmacy distance learning, access to educators was seen as a means to relay some of these stories and offload the stress caused by these unprecedented circumstances. The postgraduate pharmacy education team at De Montfort University felt a moral responsibility to provide extra support and extended their roles toward offering greater well-being support. In this commentary, we detail the emergence of this new role and offer insights into how this was fashioned and its significance for catering to the mental health needs of pharmacists. This role has largely gone undetected, and research is needed to investigate the acceptability and feasibility of such a model and its plausibility and sustainability in the long-term.
