'It’s the endless expansion and commercialisation of so-called psychiatric diagnoses, so that they operate as lucrative brands rather than legitimate categories that help build knowledge and improve clinical practice.' excellent article by @stimimi https://t.co/1QlpLRscr9

Great phrase I took from this webinar that I have been pondering all day; "knitting the jumper as we are wearing it". This idea is very relatable as a Trainee Sport Psych w/ @BPS_DSEP. Something I'll keep in mind as I come to the end of my training. @RSM_SEM #mentalhealth #sport

Emotional “mental” health consequences will be present for longer and peak later than the pandemic. Not just the govt, but ALL of us need to be urged to be proactive on this ⁦@ballstotalk⁩ ⁦@DrM_Webster⁩ ⁦@DrGazza⁩ ⁦@CWPT_WMTILS⁩ https://t.co/6qCGiRw3z4

@JedJerwood It’s so Important Jed

[Professor Neil Greenberg @ProfNGreenberg]

The NHS should be planning how best to ensure that as many of our #NHSheroes as possible experience post traumatic growth as a result of the amazing work they are doing in the battle against #COVID19. https://t.co/rW4nUVNixX @kcmhr @EPR_HPRU @rcpsychOHSIG

Pleased to be joined by our Exec Med Director Dr Hilary Grant for this well timed webinar @bsmhft @roisinfw @Happysmiler64

[Pedro Delgado @okpedrodelgado]

Many are concerned about the COVID19 psyc impact on staff. We’re hosting a free @TheIHI webinar for Europe next Wednesday @ 16.30 UK time w @ProfNGreenberg and @chiefpsych on pragmatic approaches to manage it now and into the future. To register, please email [email protected]

[Professor Neil Greenberg @ProfNGreenberg]

We must ensure that as the pandemic subsides, our #NHSheroes are given time, support and resources to properly recover. Healthcare managers should actively monitor staff & not expect them to just 'crack on' & 'catch up on' 'missed work'. https://t.co/KKnKHQDRhO @kcmhr @EPR_HPRU
