Donanemab is not recommended by NICE for cognitive impairment or dementia caused by Alzheimer's.

This is due to limited benefits and high costs, including monthly infusions and intensive side effect monitoring, therefore it not good use for the taxpayer: https://t.co/A0DumIAowv

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Nearly 10k signatories now.

Can @NHSEngland please confirm they've carried out the equality impact assessment of cutting specific mental health services for NHS staff?

As a public body, this is their legal duty.

Given the high % of female & BME NHS staff, where is the EIA?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Over 8000 NHS staff have signed this letter in under 24 hours, @NHSEngland.

The strength of feeling could not be clearer.

Why would you defund a CQC outstanding service that literally saves the lives of suicidal doctors?

Could you even be more vindictive, after a pandemic?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

A reminder why @NHSPracHealth was first set up - after the heartbreaking tragedy of a doctor who so feared stigma from colleagues she felt unable to seek mental health support - & killed herself & her baby daughter.

Please don't defund this vital service, @NHSEngland 🙏

[Lucy Wright @drlucywright]

Terrible decision made to axe the Practitioner Health Programme (PHP) that has been available to provide mental health support to NHS Staff from 15.04.24!!

Peace has finally broken out…

[Gill Livingston @Gill_Livingston]

START helps family carers of people with dementia and saves money on care and costs. We provide it in @CI_NHS and its available in many other trusts. It should be everywhere.

[Gill Livingston @Gill_Livingston]

Important study. Over 20 years -longest fu to date - of people with hearing impairment, showing a 36% increased risk of dementia - increasing with degree of hearing impairment. Not reverse causation then. @chrm81 @geir[email protected] @CostafredaSergi
