11th January 1922

104 years to the day....

The first dose of #Insulin was administered

A 14 year old boy called Leonard Thompson

And life was never the same again for so many many people

January is hard. Ask someone for a cup of coffee or a walk. The simplest connections help build relationships. Build your mental health piece by piece. #piecebypiece #theresnohealthcarewithoutselfcare

@ProfLAppleby Excellent thread and on point. Thank you @ProfLAppleby
Best wishes for 2026 to all

The NHS is at its best when it offers its best care, its greatest resources, to people whose illnesses leave them on the margins of society, at greatest risk.

MH care needs to re-discover its main mission, severe mental illness.

🎆 Happy New Year!

@ParamedicsUK @wendyburn Congratulations

@DrRJha @DoctorsDistress An intriguing thought @DrRJha definitely talking about one’s own mental health or state of distress led in a thoughtful way by the appraiser is a starting point and we need to make it a part of the process in a consistent way.

@DoctorsDistress @adave_NHS Wouldn’t it be helpful if our annual appraisals checked the burnout score for every clinician and automatically recommended a remedial measure where needed - there are several validated self reported tools … thanks for all the work you do @DoctorsDistress

[Doctors In Distress @DoctorsDistress]

💙2025 Highlight 💙 A record 451 doctors were on burnout courses in 2025. Our thanks to Dr Ashley for running these sessions, and our congratulations to everyone who participated. 🏅🏆

🌳💚To every person in every Trust who cared, organised and pulled off planting a Tree of Hope this year - thank you! To our Patron Dr. Adam Kay, thank you for continued drive to shine a light on the risk of suicide for healthcare workers. 💚🌳 #WellbeingInHealthcare #TreeOfHope

Leadership isn’t about dominance—it’s about connection.
And women are leading the way.

At the AMWA 111th Annual Conference, plenary speaker Sarah Smithson, MD, MPH will explore how relational leadership is transforming power, culture, and impact in healthcare. Drawing on her work as an internal medicine physician and co-founder of Relational Leadership Partners, Dr. Smithson brings decades of experience in leadership development, interprofessional education, and system-level change.

If you’re ready to lead with purpose, build stronger teams, and reimagine what power looks like in medicine—this plenary is for you.

Be in the room where the future of leadership is shaped. Register today for the early-bird rate: https://t.co/UD2UncM2kW

“What do I want to do in my career? I want to continue persisting. Quietly, shouting doesn't always get you there, but just quietly persisting to try to help people to understand.”

Former RCPsych President, now a House of Lords Peer, the inspiring Baroness Sheila Hollins has given us a fascinating interview about her career, the highlights, barriers, and what more she hopes to achieve. Listen today #thriveinpsychiatry

For #HumanRightsDay we share a special interview with President Dr Lade Smith CBE who spoke with Jade Wright from the College's Special Committee on Human Rights (SCHR).
