When does electioneering become a threat to public health? Depression and anxiety make an easy target for Stride because he is playing off existing prejudices that sufferers face. It is damaging. My piece for @guardianopinion on #PiP and mental health. tinyurl.com/754s93ht

We all know that our practice should be evidence-based, but what happens when all the evidence is behind paywalls? Interesting research opportunity for clinicians to reflect upon👇🏼
Hello Tweeps 👋🏼🎓 A fantastic @UCLPsychiatry MSc student is leading research to understand how mental health professionals access research and implement evidence-based practice. Please read the details, share widely and consider taking part in this important study 🙏🏻✨

Replying to @Migration_DClin
Absolutely agree the system does not support migrants it reminds me for example of how difficult the Dclin makes it to take annual leave and doesn’t care if you need to travel to see family etc. it just adds to the exhaustion

I am a trainee. I am exhausted and continuously stressed. This whole system needs to be restructured. This is why/how the NHS ends up with burned out clinicians. #dclinpsy

Also, it took only a year to realise that the system (and the people holding it) do not care nor create good support for those of us without a family here. Our identity and different in nature needs almost every time are not considered.

For some of us, depending on the circumstances, it can be really lonely 🙃 #EndOfRant

The news of the US Supreme Court overturning the #RoeVsWade brought tears to my eyes. I CANNOT believe that 'pro life' in 2022 means passing a gun regulation allowing people to carry firearms, and denying women their right to abortion. Their right to decide over their bodies.

Today marks a step back in history. It's not something that happens in US, but to all of us. We don't just stand in solidarity with our US sisters; we fight for safe and legal access to abortion, to will, to choice. We fight to exercise autonomy over our own bodies.

I will keep adding resources and actionable steps we can take to this thread in aims more people will educate themselves and others, support and take action regardless of where they are located.
