Integrated CBTE improves outcomes for anorexia nervosa - YouTube
Thinking about this presentation we did with @sensinglorna. It’s hard for people to share their experiences publicly, but it’s important to give hope to others who may feel hopeless youtube.com/watch?v=fHsmGNiB…

Two Tavistock whistleblowers warned about its gender clinic long before it closed.
Now they are raising the alarm about the draft Conversion Practices Bill.
Watch therapists Marcus and Susan Evans explain why it poses serious risks to children, parents and families.

The #NHS also called the “jewel in the crown”
Now- Built on a model of “don’t come to see us”
And if you do?
“Please leave quickly”
Whether it be primary care or specialist care
It’s called demand management
OR not enough resources to deal with the need of the population.

Yet more barriers to MH care
Experts fear new guidelines for OCD will deprive patients of specialist care for more resistant symptoms
Campaigners suspect it is financially motivated
It can be a crippling, intensely distressing condition

So many good points here. We’ve simplified biology so we can understand it. Staying curious is the way to truly discover what life is about.

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

I will say this- again.
In a safety critical 'industry' like healthcare?
Lesser trained staff usage-at scale-will cause harm.
You will 'get away with it' a lot of times.
Yet all it needs is 'one miss'.
And the higher training reduces the chance of that 'one' - it's what training is all about.
If you don't understand that?
You fail safety issues
And you fail as an educator and trainer.
Thank you @JanetEastham for continuing to raise the issue.
The irony?
Every single person responsible for such decisions regards 'what the public can have' - reaches out to a doctor when they need help for their loved one.
'Cake for me. None for you.'
Dylan Cope died after an A&E nurse practitioner mistook his abdominal pain for flu, having ignored his GP’s referral for suspected appendicitis. His family thought she was a doctor.
A coroner found he would have survived had a senior doctor examined him.

The head of HR who employed Mr Amroliwala to conduct an ‘independent’ inquiry without mentioning that they were in business relationship? Very odd

Dusty Amroliwala himself has been an NHS trust chair (scandal prone North Middx) & NED (troubled BHRUT)
I hope in view of independent review findings about his report on Dr Redvers, whistleblower, he doesn't find his way back to senior positions in NHS

Dusty Amroliwala author of the criticised report against Dr Redvers, is partner at Ekim Consulting
Another partner is Amanda Amroliwala (née Mandie Campbell, former CEO PHSO & Theresa May's immigration enforcer at Home Office for 'hostile environment')

The protective ring….was a crematory ring.
Failure to have pandemic care home policy in place by the then Secretary of State for Health.
We were all lied to publicly and from the podium.
It is now time to hold account…….step up…… Matt and Boris.
BREAKING: Covid inquiry chair, Baroness Heather Hallett, says that action to protect care homes came too late causing it to "spread like wildfire".

This is what Ekim Consulting, Dusty Amroliwala's company, says about its trade in healthcare and how its people's NHS links service that trade, including their role in "sensitive and complex investigations":

The courts and tribunals are one of the most important arenas in which the gender wars are being fought out. And one of the most important aspects of litigation is that it happens in public.
Agnes Ayton 💙 retweeted
"It seems to me that a decision has been made to replace doctors and to remove distinctions between doctors and other professions.
It's no coincidence that the NHS continues to struggle with efficiency, productivity, and safety problems while we progress further towards a blended workforce without the necessary training supervision or regulation."

If you want to see how the captured NHS gang together to bully doctors who actually do their job of ‘first do no harm’ … read this.
I was investigated by the NHS, called a transphobe and thought of suicide

78 young people harmed by the NHS because managers would rather harass Dr Redvers out of a job than deal with the Wild West of gender medicine. Dr Redvers is right to call this a medical scandal.
Just because euthanasia is legal in some jurisdictions, it does not make it moral or safe.

A flat stomach is a better health goal than big arms, and the data back it up. In a study of nearly 360,000 Europeans, the men with the largest waists had about twice the risk of death and the women about 1.8 times, even after accounting for BMI. Belly fat matters because the fat cells around the organs are often overfilled and insulin resistant, and they release their fat directly toward the liver. The way to shrink them is to bring insulin down, which means cutting refined carbs, eating protein and lifting.
