A new article from me about #mentalhealth and the ever increasing medicalisation of all aspects of society. Credit to @JDaviesPhD and @ClinpsychLucy for their work over the years and given me faith to do an article about this. Thank you @NursingTimes

Very excited to be talking directly to government next month on shaping the future of #mentalhealth services and #socialprescribing we have the opportunity to shape something for the better let’s not waste it @wfpevents
The government and the unions are in cahoots. A small pay rise will be accepted but without additional funding to the #NHS. This means services will be cut to fund it. Then nurses and doctors will be blamed for services being cut.

I’ll be on @LiverpoolLiveRD this morning talking about #BlueMonday and #mentalhealth for @Mersey_Care so tune in at 11
Sick of hearing #CostofLivingCrisis let’s call it what it is. Failure of government crisis. Only the poorest are in crisis not the rich, they’ve become even richer.

Very disappointed with my union @GMB_union no longer taking industrial action next week. The membership voted for it so to go against it last minute seems a poor decision.
Solidarity with any worker that wants better working conditions and to be paid a decent wage #StandByYourPost
Due to Royal Mail Groups attempts to destroy your local postal workers and the service they provide, today will be the final day of post before Christmas.
We hope you understand what it has taken for postal workers to make this call.
They need your support.

If you think class is no longer an issue just look at how nurses, postal workers, rail workers, ambulance workers, dockers, bus drivers etc. have been treated for legally and peacefully demanding what they’re owed. Join a union and organise #NHSStrikes #tradeunion

youtu.be/bDy5Cdaseew from a while ago but here’s me @joti2gaza and @drbobgill talking about the NHS in crisis. As we approach the second day of industrial action it helps to remind us that this process started many years ago. #NHSStrike @WorkersPartyGB
Great first coaching session on #Conniston ward @Mersey_Care for the @innovationnwc can’t wait to move things forward in quality patient care #mentalhealth #inpatient #nursing
