Fantastic @louistheroux has done a documentary about postpartum psychosis. Will be on BBC2 in May.
Psychosis affects between 1-3 in every 1000 new mums in the UK. Much needed awareness for this mental illness. #everyonesbusiness

It is with deepest shock and sadness that we can confirm the death of our brother and best friend Keith Flint. A true pioneer, innovator and legend. He will be forever missed.
We thank you for respecting the privacy of all concerned at this time.

People who think mixed sex wards are just fine for women with serious #mentalhealth problems are ignoring what the evidence says & what most women want. It is unacceptable to require women to share wards with men when so many of us have experienced abuse. We have different needs.

@garycookewbq Sounds good, pop on next time your in and we’ll set up a meet

[Jo Maria @JoMaria_Brook]

@garycookewbq You did the hard work! You’ve got yourself to thank. So great to see how far you’ve come! 😊

[Jo GMMH @GmmhJo]

The Safewards data is in. Increased use of #safewards in all areas across @GMMH_NHS showing more and more staff getting involved and using Safewards interventions with our patients as an alternative to restrictive practices. 😁👍 #ReducingRestrictions @GmmhPMVA

[Jo Maria @JoMaria_Brook]

@SallyRebecca3 Well done Sally! So well deserved! Excited to have you join #teammoorside You’re going to be an amazing nurse!

[Jo Maria @JoMaria_Brook]

Had a lovely time delivering training to Trafford preceptor nurses this morning. Some really great ideas and lovely to hear the views on reducing restrictions and patient centred focus. Thanks for inviting me @MurfinLucy

Here’s to a good Monday. Plan to take 10 minutes out of your day today, for a walk, it’s free, the air will be fresh, and switch your phone off at the same time, #5stepstowellbeing #bluemonday2019

It really is great to share! It’s good to just discuss things and give each other the permission to try these things out. I was just talking to a student last week about the benefits of protected time, now he can see it in practice 😁

[Jo Maria @JoMaria_Brook]

Great response from team Brook for our first protected morning time. Protected time is something I have been fully supportive of but struggling to implement into our day thanks @SarahHoltom1 and @LianneHolland22 for sharing how you have done this! Smoothie making after too!
