6 years ago I sat in a hospital bed on a mental health ward. This #MHNursesDay I work on that very same ward alongside some of the nurses that looked after me. MH nurses kept me alive. changed my life. I’m only 9 months qualified but hope I do the same as they did for me 💚💙
It’s an honour & a privilege to be a mental health nurse. After 28 years I still cannot imagine doing anything else. Thank you to each and every mental health nurse, who every day aspire to support and care for others #MHNursesDay
Sharing 3 things for @MHnursesday. 1. We work in an ethically grey area, sometimes helping but also harming. We need to acknowledge this, and think about it. We have great power, thus have a responsibility to use it very carefully. #MHNursesDay

@MHnursesday I don’t think I’ve ever had two days that felt the same and the people ….so many stories and witnessed so many triumphs,I have probably learnt something every day ❤️
@MHnursesday Happy Mental Health Nurses day to all my colleagues past and present. After 33 years as a MH nurse I remain proud to be one of you and humbled and inspired every day ❤️
22nd minute… Standing ovation for Sheffield Steelers defenceman Matt Petgrave, who’s not on the ice tonight.
Over 8,000 fans all on their feet to show their support & love for Petgrave.
I really want to use more public transport but in the last week have rescued my daughter from being stranded in rugby due to cancellations which continued for 2 days delaying her return to work and am currently sat stationary on one in Leicester with a missing crew. Late again 🤯

#SocialPrescribing can harness the power of communities to promote good health and mental wellbeing. But how well do these non-clinical, community-centred approaches work? Our explainer looks at a number of key case studies to evaluate their success. https://t.co/pPT4bqLQBC
Plea to media, inc social media, ahead of #WSPD23:
Suicide is not a chance to score political points, or any other kind.
Accuracy matters: check data.
Avoid words like “epidemic”. Rates in England are not rising.
For 5000 families/yr it is the ultimate tragedy. Be sensitive.
I was so convinced I’d be annoyed by the Barbie film. I’m a dick. It’s brilliant. Two steps ahead of everything I thought they’d get wrong.
As a noted intellectual, I will of course also be going to see Oppenheimer, as soon as my doctor reveals I have 400 years to live.
If there was a proper complex trauma pathway, a proper autism and adhd pathway, a proper bipolar pathway and a proper PMDD pathway, there would be no need to debate what to rename BPD because no one would be left unserved.
