⏰ One person is detained under the Mental Health Act every 10 minutes in England.

It's 40 years old and desperately needs to change. But today, government has dropped plans to reform it.

Here's why that's a big mistake 👇

[Black Thrive Global @BlackThrive]

📢 Black Thrive is proud to join @NHSEngland in announcing the first ever anti-racism framework for mental health trusts and service providers. The Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF) will ensure that the NHS is responsible for co-producing and implementing concrete actions to reduce racial inequality within their services, with the view to becoming an actively anti-racist organisation.

Our Director @DrJacquiDyerMBE has been one of the driving forces behind PCREF, as NHS England National Mental Health Equalities Advisor and chair for the Advancing Mental Health Equalities Taskforce and the PCREF Steering Group.

"It's about race equity in systems change, the scale of it is huge and deep,” Dr. Jacqui Dyer explains. “It’s getting into the DNA of how you make system improvement and you’re holding the whole system to account as you’re doing it.”

📅 Join us on 3rd November for the PCREF National Launch Webinar, when Dr Jacqui Dyer will be giving a keynote speech on the ambitions PCREF has for the future. Our CEO Dr @soucimf will discuss the role of VSCE organisations in implementing PCREF and engaging communities.

It’s #AutisticPrideDay - an opportunity for autistic people to celebrate both their potential and differences.

To mark the day, one of our staff members has shared her experience of being autistic - https://t.co/J71LnBZc6v

This month the NHS is supporting #30DaysWild from @WildlifeTrusts by spotlighting the staff and patients who work hard to maintain green spaces at NHS sites. Throughout June we’ll be sharing some of the beautiful green spaces, allotments and gardening projects at CNTW 🧵⤵️

Great report, including a nail on head statement about the tension reported by some professionals between between 1) wanting to support #carers & 2) trying to ‘protect’ services from being overwhelmed by demand or expectations. We don’t talk about this enough.

[The King's Fund @TheKingsFund]

Our new report explores the current picture of local support available for unpaid #carers in England, and offers four insights into how this can be improved at a local and national level. Find out more: https://t.co/e2FoDVSXO0

💬 Despite 1 in 100 people experiencing #schizophrenia, it is still widely stigmatised and misunderstood.

For #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, watch and share this video so that people get the facts on the condition.

[Anna Green 💚 (Anna Foster) @_Anna_Foster]

@LovelyClaireyA @CNTWNHS It’s a sobering thought, Claire.

[Anna Green 💚 (Anna Foster) @_Anna_Foster]

Great conversations today at the North Cumbria Collective Leadership & Management Development session.

Can any @CNTWNHS North Cumbria folk explain the history of this bell in the Carleton Clinic café?

[Anna Green 💚 (Anna Foster) @_Anna_Foster]

@RamonaRCD Thanks, Ramona! I wonder in what circumstances it was rung…..

I haven’t yet watched this documentary but my heart goes out to anyone who feels invalidated by either the programme or the negative attitudes that are being perpetuated as a result.

Our full response to the @BBCPanorama documentary that will now find it even more difficult to get shared care & increase work for busy GP’s & more costs to the taxpayer arising out of avoidable co-occurring health problems @NICEComms @EHRC @NHSEngland

The video embedded in the police update is the most shocking one I have ever seen. How the cyclist survived is a miracle. Really highlights the vulnerability of people who walk, wheel or pedal on our roads and pavements.

[Anna Green 💚 (Anna Foster) @_Anna_Foster]

👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 delighted to see this.

We need leaders who understand that that 1) the climate crisis is a health crisis; 2) sustainable healthcare is everyone’s business; and 3) sustainable healthcare is quality healthcare.

Wowzer - I just arranged one of these online and it was so straightforward.

If you’re on HRT, make sure you get one of these before your next prescription is due, you’ll save loads of money (it costs £19.30 for 12 months).

Thank you @NHSBSA for making the process so simple.

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

You can now get cheaper HRT through the new HRT Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC).

This could save you money if you pay for more than two HRT prescriptions within 12 months.

Here’s how you can apply: https://t.co/sNwpAFKqnf

Worrying.

If we (the NHS) lived by our rhetoric (prevention…personalised care..compassion), perhaps we would find ways to simplify the diagnostic process instead of making referral criteria stricter.
