Ocho, our wee cat has been missing for several days Broomhill, last seen near primary school. We are really keen to find him

@SelinaTour 2) I want to pursue research work as well as clinical facing work. PT time NHS work allows me to do this. I'd also note many advertised posts are part time anyway (2/2)

[Dr Fiona Robb @DrFionaRobb]

@SelinaTour My understanding is that clinical psychologists are increasingly working outside the NHS (although still mostly work in the NHS). I personally work pt time because: 1) I believe working part time is better for my mental health and subsequently makes me a better psychologist (1/2)

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

One of the darkest days for women’s rights in my lifetime. Obviously the immediate consequences will be suffered by women in the US - but this will embolden anti-abortion & anti-women forces in other countries too. Solidarity doesn’t feel enough right now - but it is necessary.

⚡️Today marks a grim milestone in the history of the United States as the Supreme Court has overturned #RoeVsWade and stripped Americans of the right to an abortion.

📢 MESAS Monitoring Report 2022 published by @P_H_S_Official

In 2021
- 9.4 litres of pure alcohol were sold per adult
- averaging to a consumption of 18.1 units per adult per week

This is substantially higher than the Chief Medical Officers' low-risk guideline of 14 units.

Findings from our new paper from the UK COVID-MH study indicate that people across the UK reported elevated depressive symptoms, loneliness, defeat and entrapment during the 2nd wave of COVID-19 and subsequent lockdown in Jan/Feb 2021 https://t.co/tHkqtnKBFh

@bethanyabj Try the others who will be in your cohort or are in other years - several in our year lived together

Word of the day is 'misken' (15th century): to refuse to recognise something by pretending it's not happening.

NICE recommends @Sleepio as alternative to sleeping pills

"Sleepio is more effective at reducing insomnia than sleep hygiene and sleeping pills"

Congrats @ProfEspie!

[Dr Fiona Robb @DrFionaRobb]

@alysonkanani It commercialises therapy. Pretends there can be a neat little session-session outcome. Makes it feel like a customer/business interaction. Unlikely to get accurate feedback. Feels like performance as a "good patient" AND as a "good therapist" is under daily scrutiny. V.opposed.

@rduffypsych @NHSGGC Congratulations Robyn! Well deserved (although it means sad news coming for LD!)

[NHS Education for Scotland (NES) @NHS_Education]

People with learning disabilities have the right to support which understands their needs. The NES resource ‘Thinking about me?’ enhances health and social care staff’s knowledge of psychological care for people with LD https://t.co/NVJfOuWL4X #LDWeekScot2022

[Chris Hopson @ChrisHopsonNHS]

How’s NHS? Staff completely flat out & beyond full stretch. Busier than ever before at this time of year. Major workforce/demand challenges. Before full impact of winter/omicron. Worrying. But as committed as ever to providing outstanding patient care to all who need it!🧵. 1/25
