That was a tough 20 mile run at Bedford Festival today. Going well for the first 13 miles in very not conditions. Managing tight calf muscles for last miles. Big shout out to emergency services and first aiders today in the hot weather.

A chance to take part in Kralinge Bos parkrun. Beautiful course and beautiful day and surprisingly my best ever age graded time and fourth fastest ever. Not that time important of course

[David McDaid @dmcdaid]

Lovely to run the Wezenlanden parkrun in Zwolle for first time today. Another friendly well organised run - and Zwolle is a lovely little city.

Investigation good; but there needs to be a moratorium now on these debt collection processes. Why are local councils
@LGAcomms organisations responsible for #publichealth including #mentalhealth and #wellbeing allowed to do something that is so wrong?

[David McDaid @dmcdaid]

V important @MartinSLewis Councils in England responsibe for public health; unmanageable debt major risk factor 4 poor #mentalhealth & ppl w mentalhealth conditions high risk of debt. Councils use rapid punitive measures & bailiffs; totally unacceptable needs to be stopped now

Brilliant news. I'm quite emotional. Govt has agreed to investigate Council Tax rapid debt collection escalation that is catastrophic for millions. Miss one MONTH'S payment and within six weeks you can have baliffs forcing you to pay for the YEAR plus £100s admin charges.

Thanks so much to @mmhpi and @gmb

[European Psychiatric Association @Euro_Psychiatry]

Join us for a thought-provoking session in 5 minutes as experts debate: Do we need psychiatric asylums again?

The role of psychiatric asylums in modern mental health care. Are they a relic of the past or a necessary solution for today’s challenges?

#EPA2025

Good to run first half-marathon of the year at the Milton Keynes Festival of Running today in just over 2hrs and 3 mins. Enjoyed the run; should have worn gloves though, was really quite bitter weather. Really contrast from warm weather at parkrun in Northampton on Saturday.

[David McDaid @dmcdaid]

In Bodø Norway to see my friend and colleague @ipsnor Beate Brinchmann defend her PhD Thesis 'Can Individual Placement and Support (IPS)(supported employment) contribute to changing life of individuals experiencing mentalhealth problems?' Been a pleasure to collaborate with her

[David McDaid @dmcdaid]

Good to be in Dublin today to launch of our @CPEC_LSE report for @MHReform on the economic case for scaling up early access to support for children and young people in Ireland with 'mild to moderate' levels of #mentalhealth conditions including anxiety and depression

Great to take part in @FPH @rcpsych event on #publicmentalhealth Important to work across boundaries/disciplines to implement effectively. Also heard much more use can be made of routine health and other data to make case e.g. help ensure experience and voices of all are heard

[David McDaid @dmcdaid]

@SaimaNiaz8 @subodhdave1 @rcpsych @ProfKevinFenton @FPH @ProfAnnJohn @JayDasMunshi Great to take part in this event. So important to work across boundaries/disciplines to implement public #mentalhealth effectively. Heard much more can also be done with routine data - for instance to help ensure that the experience and voices of all are heard
