๐ Managing a kidney condition can take a toll on your mental well-being and our latest report 'Left to get on with it' found that just over half (51%) of our survey respondents stated they were currently experiencing anxiety. Read the full report here ๐ https://t.co/6knFFLCEdj
๐ We hope that the 90+ young adults (& 20+ incredible volunteers) heading off to our Young Adult Residential Weekend today have a great time! Looking forward to hearing all about it!

How fabulous is this! Would be great if a children's story about renal failure/dialysis could be done in a similar way. Didn't think it was possible to love James Norton anymore that I already did but he's just elevated himself to a whole new level โค๏ธ https://t.co/JupDX2t9H5
A truly fabulous few days at UKKW2024! Already looking forward to Bournemouth and UKKW2025๐ Thank you @UKKA@em_coyne and the rest of the small but perfectly formed #Renalpsychologyposse

@DejessiDean and Amy Waugh talking about talking about renal young adult psychosocial support. 1 in 5 renal young adults have significant thoughts of self-harm. There is a significant need for young adult support and psychology. #UKKW2024
@london_pacific @JolyonMaugham Too true. My (dubious investment) in a psychology degree has allowed me to earn enough to now help my son pay for shitty over priced student accom to do a (dubious investment) politics degree. Who knows maybe he will be the next PM and we will screw your theory completely ๐คฃ
@london_pacific @JolyonMaugham Maybe, maybe not ๐คทโโ๏ธ. Maybe he's the next generation of Consultant Clinical Psychologist who knows? My experience of uni life wasn't that dissimilar to his.
@london_pacific @JolyonMaugham My point is ... it's often not that easy to be sure that you are shooting yourself in the foot and just because some random stranger on Twitter thinks you might be doesn't mean you actually are ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@london_pacific @JolyonMaugham Less due to luck, more due to hard work. I do not come from a privileged background nor any family links to the profession. Fortunately I believed I had freedom of choice in my future profession. Your advice puts limits on aspiration which further compounds the inequalities.
@joannagtweets@TheBoredEntrep1 Exactly this! My first year son has just today submitted a formal complaint. No exams marked and 3 essays still not marked. It's an absolute disgrace! ๐ก
@mrdanwalker "I just hope that whoever needs help - on all sides of this - gets the time, space & support they need to heal."
So maybe stop tweeting about it now Dan. Your repetitive tweets are becoming a bit voyeuristic...๐ค
