Supporting a colleague @bmj_latest
"always approach with compassion and kindness"
‘Are you ok?’ or ‘You don’t seem yourself, or Do you want to talk?’
The smallest gesture can make the greatest difference.

- Absolutely spot on- the widespread use of term 'mental health' is almost meaningless While seeking to destigmatise mental disorders, it has led to marginalisation & more discrimination of people with conditions like psychosis/schizophrenia. @Martha_Gill
- What an incredible honour to be awarded an @rcpsych Presidential Medal🎖️ announced at #RCPsychIC So grateful to all who encouraged & kindly supported me in my journey #RehabPsych #Equality #SMI #Coproduction
- The UK race report concludes that deprivation, family structures & geography— but not ethnicity, are risk factors for health inequalities But it ignores much evidence that systemic racism, e.g. rising residential segregation drives disparities @bmj_latest go.shr.lc/3u97aED
- Well written article "Preventing suicides among doctors" Rebecca Black @bmj_latest "The qualities, which make a good & caring doctor, are also the qualities, which place us at higher risk of mental illness" go.shr.lc/2JESwmk
- Can we stop using the phrase "treatment resistance" in psychiatry? It blames the disorder or the patient and not the treatment offered. Interesting article #WorldPsychiatry but “difficult to treat” phrase is even worse onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wp…
- Winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rehabilitation & Social Psychiatry @RCPsychRehabSoc Congratulations @HelenKillaspy @UCLPsychiatry @CI_NHS We are so grateful for all your work in improving #RehabPsych research & care delivery for people with psychosis @rcpsych
- Replying to @trishgreenhalgh"Many elderly people were administered morphine instead of oxygen despite available supplies, effectively ending their lives. If Sweden wants to do better in future pandemics, the scientific method must be re-established"
- Thank you @Drladesmith for strongly making the case for better mental health funding, highlighting workforce crisis, junior doctor conditions & #pensiontax #BBCQT tonight 👏🏾 We have to make the case repeatedly, use evidence & ensure parity of resources bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
- There is an undiagnosed disconnect between what doctors think their patients understand & what they actually take with them Good communication is vital, as is understanding the patient's perspective @AbraarKaran @bmj_latest go.shr.lc/2VVXAbz
