We created this as a way of mapping #wellbeing and #mentalhealth interventions for doctors, but this will also be of interest to anyone doing wellbeing research, or trying to improve the workplace.

[Care Under Pressure @care_under]

We are really pleased to share our latest publication - "Developing a typology of interventions to support doctors' mental health and wellbeing".

If you are in the PMB ballot please consider supporting parents of seriously and terminally ill children

Dear Sir Lindsay,

Helen Whately is misleading the House. No one EVER got a Motability car for tennis elbow or acne. She presents no evidence because there is none. She is lying to whip up hatred of disabled people. Please refer her to the Privileges Committee.

[Hoss @Hossylass]

This is one of the saddest statistics you will read today.

Raising a child is hard, raising a disabled child in a hostile and unsupporting environment must take balls of steel.
Lets show them some support and love through decent legislation.

[Caro Betts @BettsCaro]

Thank you Liz. My Mum was a big supporter of “Dignity in Dying”. When she was fit & healthy, she made me promise to take her to Switzerland immediately if need be.

When she became ill, theory became reality. She changed her mind. Even though she could barely move, she wanted life. She was ok with things that “healthy her” couldn’t have imagined being ok with.

A year later she had a peaceful death thanks to a fab palliative team. She got to see her granddaughter to 18. That last year was precious for all of us xx

And what will another survey achieve?

We already know 47% of unpaid carers provide 90+ hrs a week & nothing has changed.

Care providers are taking contracts without the skilled staff to deliver them, and the burden falls back on unpaid carers

Carer’s Allowance is just £86.45 a week - around £12 a day.
47% of unpaid carers care over 90 hrs a week. That’s not simply cleaning, it’s highly skilled, relentless nursing level care, 12 plus hours a day, with no breaks as there’s no one else to take over 🧵

[Rene🧚🫧 @sheisafairyyy]

Always go to the funeral. Always go to the hospital. You don't need to know what to say.

In times of profound crisis, people don't remember your words, they only remember whether you showed up for them at their lowest moment.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Anyone can become disabled

Disability is not a moral failing. It’s not something that only happens to people who did “something wrong”

It’s not an anomaly

Most people will experience disability at some point in their lives

Helping us fight for better support benefits everyone

[Lynn Williams @Carer49]

Does that include the disabled young people who will now get less money to help with day to day living costs, and who can’t get Access to Work or social care to support them in work??

[Extraordinary Links @Extraor57879073]

This 👇👇👇 Cutting support will not get disabled people into work, it just removes financial support disabled people need to survive. @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer @DWPgovuk how will this actually help disabled people into work, when there are no jobs available? #CareNotCuts

[Paul Ridley @PaulRidley5]

The £184 billion question: What would happen if the unpaid carers stopped caring? https://t.co/gIiv24Ipxs

[kerry fox @lumpybird]

Unpaid Carers are expected to care even when they themselves require to be cared for - cancer/a stroke/ transplant you name it .. social care is in free fall down a black hole, pushed under the carpet of successive governments. 🧵

[James Moore @JimMooreJourno]

Things get a little sticky if they’re disabled when they pass 18, hey Labour?

[Dr Alison Pearson @alisonpearsonSW]

@ChrisPoole54888 @JohnCleese You’re not the first. For years I made my name “not the other one” 😂

[Shockat Adam MP @ShockatAdam]

£200 a month. That’s what families could lose under new Universal Credit changes.

3M disabled people rely on the health top up. But under Labour, families are being pushed to choose between vital care and simply making ends meet.

When will the government stop punishing the most vulnerable?

[Dr Alison Pearson @alisonpearsonSW]

@ChrisPoole54888 @JohnCleese Totally different Allison Pearson!

[Sarah 👩‍🦼 @WolfydocS]

Sick and disabled people are getting a £50 per week cut.
This will affect anyone who becomes longer term seriously ill or disabled from now on and runs out of SSP.
You'll have to survive on £7650pa, frozen until 2030.
Don't get sick.
