People with mental health conditions face inequalities in diagnosis of physical illness. This paper summarises all we know about the problem. More research is needed to understand why & find solutions.
We're advertising two new research associate roles at @THIS_Institute, for people with qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods expertise! If this is you, please consider applying. If it isn't, please consider retweeting 😉. Details: https://t.co/yKNFxEreqm. Closing date 21/7.
So many key points in this piece, about psych diagnosis and (the perils of) self-diagnosis, 'normality' vs illness, narratives of self, and the multiple dimensions that make up psychological problems. Brilliant 👏

The UKCP statement represents a serious crisis in therapy. We risk the destruction of the profession. If we remain apathetic, if we don't act now, counselling and psychotherapy in this country are doomed. If we cannot stand up and protect our ethics, we are nothing at all.
@UKCP_Updates is this the view of the organisation? Was it part of the settlement that you could not write an accompanying commentary to this? I am a trainee therapist and want to understand where my regulatory body stands on this. This is very upsetting.
The rise of fascism, the psychoanalyst Bollas seems to argue, is driven by a reduction in the inner complexity of people. Interestingly, this is analogous to Plato’s idea in the Republic about what causes tyranny to rise.
I think both Plato and Bollas are on to something.
Our paper on using Safety Cases in healthcare is out. Many long-standing improvement issues resurfaced: how to prioritise between risks, managers' economy of attention, clinical agency for solving problems that have roots in systemic weaknesses
General practice is facing a workforce crisis with unmanageable workloads & GPs reporting high levels of burnout. We wanted to find out about the operational failures GPs encounter and their impact. View the paper: https://t.co/IMWJUlObd5 Read the summary: https://t.co/pm8tbQf9RB
1) the trauma industry over claims
2) that has nothing to do with the desperate lack of non-medicalised trauma pathways in the nhs
3) a lack of pre/post studies in early childhood is cos so doing would be ethically dodgy/impossible
4) a lack of evidence isn't evidence of a lack
If you've written, or are thinking of writing, a journal article that is related to different therapeutic approaches, the the therapeutic relationship, and integrative/pluralistic practice, submit to our new journal, Pluralistic Practice https://t.co/CQc0kTBe4m
Attempts to manage culture change in the NHS from above are unlikely to work without sensitivity to the complex nature of culture in such a vast, diffuse organisation. So, what is organisational culture and how does it link to healthcare improvement? https://t.co/C9tICtLT9r
People with a learning disability from a minority ethnic background have a life expectancy of just 34 years—around half that of their white counterparts who on average live to 62, to a report from the NHS Race and Health Observatory @NHS_RHO has found
