Today is Research Appreciation Day, and this year's theme is co-production.
We believe mental health research works best when the people it aims to help are equal partners in shaping it. Not occasionally consulted. Genuinely involved, from the start.

If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity.
Let his face today burn bright.
Barney, I promise you there will be accountability 💛💚
For You. For Grace. For Ian.
Today I attended the memorial service at All Souls Church in Nottingham close to where Grace & Barney were murdered 3 years ago today
@coatesaholic@drsanjoykumar@MrsEmmaWebber
I would like to pay tribute to the families of Ian, Grace & Barney & to the survivors Sharon and Wayne. Whatever I can do to help with your campaign for justice I will
RIP Grace, Ian and Barney 🌹🌹🌹
@MartinDaubney@PeterBleksley I passed on your regards.
Thank you for being there Lisa. Such comfort.
People like you make a massive difference to us and to society as a whole.
You need to rally the people of Nottingham.
1. Why is the Midlands regional mental health director still in a job after failing to keep the people of Nottingham safe. Giving a very poor account of herself at the Inquiry. She escalated nothing.
2. Why is the chief executive of the ICB still in a job after commissioning a failing service and not monitoring properly.
People of Nottingham mobilise, ask for accountability, ask for new people for these positions to serve you better, ask for resignations.
Make your voices heard for the safety of your families…..

The same warning signs keep appearing.
A recent Prevention of Future Deaths report involving Essex mental health services raised concerns about:
• Patients in mental health crisis waiting in open reception areas while beds or medical authority were secured.
• Whether there is sufficient safe accommodation for vulnerable patients awaiting admission.
• Ongoing pressures on mental health bed availability and delays in accessing inpatient care.
These concerns are different from Matthew’s case, but they reflect a wider issue that families have raised for many years: identifying risk is not enough if systems, resources and safeguards are unable to respond effectively.
The true test of learning is not how many reports are written.
It is whether patients are safer as a result.
Learning should not be measured by the number of recommendations produced. It should be measured by whether harm is prevented.
Lessons Identified.
Lessons Implemented.
Lives Protected.

Fed up. Just spent 14 weeks at @nottsinquiry didn’t miss a minute as this was all I could do in my daughter Grace’s name against all those who failed.
Get to my desk and this is what I’m greeted with……
There are no words.
The whole profession feels Dr Kumar’s grief.
We all empathise with this outrageous request. What’s happened to mental health trusts? Where’s the oversight for these failings? It’s happening on a national scale. It’s a silent catastrophe.
