A forgotten issue in a forgotten population- but people living with severe mental illness deserve the best palliative care when they need it.

It's good to see this being considered as a key step towards #parityofesteem

Actually the strongest evidence for improving the #mentalhealth of workers is to ensure that all supervisors/managers can confidently speak with staff about their psychological health. See @WHO review of the evidence. Train those supervisors; that'll help. https://t.co/0OuxTHCzmh

1/ VITAL🧵 So people have had a couple of days to digest the DDRBs "independent" reports & their imposition by governemnt.

TLDR;they represent further MASSIVE pay cuts.

Lets start with some history and look at what happened BEFORE the current high inflation

Pls read all/RT

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Dear @jeremy_hunt,

As Chancellor, please can you explain how scrapping inheritance tax is ‘affordable’, yet addressing brutal real terms pay cuts for the country’s teachers, doctors, nurses, paramedics & all other vital public servants is not?

Thank you. https://t.co/tfS1e8hgWT

[Jacob 🏳️‍🌈 @OhHeyJacob]

What actually happened VS what the BBC aired. Tell me again how the BBC is unbiased? Why have they cut that out? @siobhni @scottygb

I dedicate this poem today to the Junior Doctors.

Funny that the huge demo of doctors and teachers was covered on German TV but not on British TV.

Israeli settlers are on the rampage throughout the West Bank, mainly in the Nablus area. They're attacking Palestinians & burning down homes & vehicles, while the Israeli army continues to prevent ambulances from reaching the victims

Deeply troubled but you won’t do anything

[Steve Bradley 🇺🇦 @bradley_steve]

NI regional @GMB_union organisr Alan Perry is on @BBCRadioUlster talking about strikes. Says lowest civil service pay is £20k & he doesn't know anyone who could live on that. The avrge salary in all of Derry was only £15k a few yrs ago! A wee trip to NW would do Alan some good 👍

[APM @APMPostTweets]

A survey of pall med doctors working in Scotland has shown that most would refuse to participate in AD if it were legalised & believe the introduction of AD would have an overwhelmingly negative impact on the care of patients with life-limiting illnesses https://t.co/ozHu7wIAEg

'So actually capital investment, the failure to invest for a decade in building the capacity and modernising that capacity, means that staff are working hard, incredibly hard to compensate, but they're being constrained to work ineffectively.' @AnitaCTHF @Channel4News (4/4)

@CharSquires @beans2er @djbeckett @arrowkmr @weeSAMScotland All outpatient psych letters where I work are copied to the patient. Was a big change for me and def made me more thoughtful when writing. Often tricky to balance objective observations and clinical opinion against pt’s opinion as often are not matched. Def good for IDLs I’d say!
