There is robust evidence that doctoral researchers report higher levels of stress and are at an elevated risk of mental ill health compared with undergraduate students and whole population normative data. Much work has been done within the sector to offer early interventions and resources to help prevent this. Researcher Wellbeing Cymru is one such resource aimed at fostering a healthy sense of wellbeing amongst this population.
