Extremely proud 🥹🫶🏼⭐️

[Royal College of Psychiatrists @rcpsych]

...and the winner is Dr Raja Natarajan, @BMCHCoimbatore.

The judges were very impressed by the way Dr Natarajan has challenged stigma surrounding mental illness by bringing psychiatry directly into communities in India traditionally excluded from mental healthcare. His communication style combines warmth, humour, storytelling and clinical expertise, making complex psychiatric concepts understandable and accessible across educational and cultural backgrounds. Congrats Dr Natarajan! #rcpsychAwards

@Brilliant_Teams Ahhh. My copy arrives Saturday! Woo hoo! x

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

@Brilliant_Teams Emma you are brilliant! 🤩 I can’t believe you selected the book cover that I voted for! Thanks for asking our opinion. Cannot wait to read it! Congrats! 🥳

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

I love this card & jar of serotonin enhancing sweets that was given to our fab @EIIP_West_SABP team 🤩 I agree! We are ‘Difference Makers’ ‘Life Changers’ & I might be biased but yes… ‘Best Team Ever!’ 😝🥰 @sabpNHS #TeamWork #BrilliantStaff #EIP #Recovery

@RBFRSofficial @ThamesVP @BLSAR Wow, so shocking. Looks like the Victorian part of the building. I used to work there many moons ago. Hope everyone is ok. Great work team x

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

@emma_whicher @sabpNHS @AnandMathilaka1 Oh wow I didn’t realise the lovely Dr Hussain was retiring! Whenever I see her she greets me with a huge smile and warm hug. We all loved her when she was with us in @EIIP_West_SABP 🥰 I hope somehow I can reach out to thank her & wish her well x

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

@Jules97201260 That’s my girl! 👏🏼 🙏🏼

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

@AashaCowey I love this Aasha!! How lovely 🥰

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

@Jules97201260 Thanks Jules! Hope you are well. I was in Sainsbury’s the other day and was reminded of our catch up. It was even raining!! Haha! ☔️

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

@AashaCowey Aasha… you know your stuff. Yes it’s a Carrom Board! Not ever played but heard lots and I’ll give it a go when I visit! There will be lots of activities there for patients, including this game, which is very popular in India 🇮🇳

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

@Brilliant_Teams Arrow! Good cohesive teams go forwards / upwards / achieve! That’s what that means to me and they are all working in the same direction! ☺️ The jigsaw is meaningful but I’ve seen it on too many PowerPoints, leadership presentations etc and is a bit gimmicky x

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

I love this! Good leaders help bring out the best in people. Staff are our greatest asset in this depleted climate. Let’s treat people with kindness & compassion- you’ll get better performance & happier people who’ll stay. It’s simple really! 🥰

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

Just in time following a very busy day ☺️
Happy Mental Health Nurses day to all my wonderful colleagues far & wide 😍 I’m incredibly proud to be a Mental Health Nurse & working alongside amazing nurses who literally transform lives! You all rock🤘🏼 @sabpNHS

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

Been saying it for years. Bring back Assertive Outreach Community (AOT) Teams. So much better all round with less hospital admissions, least restrictive care, high quality support for patients and great outcomes! 🙏🏼

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

@nuwandiss Agree! I work in Early Intervention in Psychosis. AOT teams are crucial to ongoing supportive & assertive community care to those in need. Just as EIP does great work, we need to think what helps those with ongoing chronicity when they leave EIP. AOT works!

7 years ago today 👩‍🎓 How time flies! @KingsIoPPN @KingsCollegeLon #psychosis #EIP

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

@ProfDFreeman Indeed! I read yours which was proudly displayed there. Great days!

[Kate Allen @KateAllen1]

I cannot wait for this book release on paranoia by the brilliant @ProfDFreeman whose work I’ve followed for years. I wrote about paranoia prevalence in the general vs clinical population for my dissertation at King’s & on the shelf in the library was his thesis! #psychosis

[Daniel Freeman @ProfDFreeman]

You can read an extract from Paranoia in the Guardian today. The book is out 1st February. @OxExpPsy @OxPsychiatry https://t.co/yYnt8qDrug
