@psycholdham @dredbeveridge @aluzri1 @rcpsych Or Sudan or Yemen...so many wars around the world and so much death and destruction and yet the focus is always on Israel. It is interesting, I agree

[Laura Korb @Laurakorb]

@psycholdham @dredbeveridge @aluzri1 @rcpsych I would never speak about my understanding of Palestinian journey without involving a Palestinian for example.

[Laura Korb @Laurakorb]

@psycholdham @dredbeveridge @aluzri1 @rcpsych This is different. It isnt talking about the current Israeli government which many rightly criticise, but trying to give a psychological formulation for the conflict. Jewish history is mentioned but there is no Jewish voice and lots of blood libel words and phrases.

@HtotheLO Sorry to hear that Hannah. Wishing him a speedy recovery

@Andychuho @michaelh992 @IDF Are you kidding? The videos shows two entirely different people. They are known hostages and their identity has been announced (they aren't Israeli). Why deny all facts that don't sit with your preexisting beliefs?

@sonais20 @BeyNaveed Hi Polly, for some reason it seems my posts are being deleted! There are regulations before you can prescribe medical cannabis. Far more than when you prescribe other psychotropic medications. In the UK it's restricted more than other controlled drugs

[Laura Korb @Laurakorb]

@PerinatalBirder @BeyNaveed I know you are a strong advocate for this patient group and I totally agree with you!

[Laura Korb @Laurakorb]

@PerinatalBirder @BeyNaveed Of course! The paper isn't about changing good practice but rather questioning existing prescribing (which should already only happen when physical health and environmental factors have been addressed) and considering whether there could be an alternative.

[Laura Korb @Laurakorb]

@sonais20 @BeyNaveed Hi Polly, you are not wrong. Prescribing medical cannabis has actually more control and monitoring than other medication.

[Laura Korb @Laurakorb]

@BeyNaveed Why would we do that? It would need to be regulated like any prescribed medication. CBMP can be used as an alternative medication option (when others have failed) with emerging evidence and a better side effect profile

Today's strike has sparked a crucial debate with opposing views. The thread below highlights the motivation for those striking over the next 2 days. Strikes may or may not be the answer, but there is a problem and change is needed #NHSCrisis
