Excellent thread on the lack of support the @NatGuardianFTSU give #NHSwhistleblowers in reality, despite their safeguarding being enshrined in employment law. The real life impact for whistleblowers often devastates physical health, mental health & careers
Boundaries are important in all therapeutic work. Sadly "boundaries" is often a euphemism for constructing an artificial, aloof relationship with someone. 👇
I want to start to expose some of the difficulties NHS staff face on a daily basis. Bullying, racism, ableism, cliques and poor leadership. As well as to highlight the great leadership, allies and good work I see. Sadly I have to do this anonymously, which says it all.
@LenDemetriou Ok, we’ll have to carry on the conversation at a later point. The main point of the article was to centre lived experience roles because of the discrimination faced. It is not about individuals, it is about posts within systems, where they are barred and why.
@LenDemetriou @BeresfordPeter It does sound as though we have lost this in language, but the definition at the beginning of the article applied to all lived experience specific roles. Most of these will sit within a Public & Patient Involvement division within academy/NHS/third sector, managed by generic post
@LenDemetriou Hi Len - roles you’ve just described (SU researchers etc) are LXP roles as defined in the blog. See below. You describe the stunted career progression, as within the article. The article is critiquing the posts beyond these within PPI funding which are generic and manage these.
@LenDemetriou > these positions. We’d love to speak further with you - more discussion and PhDs from the perspective of lived experience are needed. As a collective we’ve been very thin on the ground, and I’m only really available to respond to your Tweet which raises some excellent points >
