And to celebrate being honoured HM, I’m out for a bumper weekend of ambulance fun @SJA_ACR @stjohnambulance @NorthWmr

Delighted to announce that Her Majesty The Queen, Sovereign Head of the Order of St John has approved new appointments in the Order @StJohnINTL @stjohnambulance #StJohnPeople #InTheServiceOfHumanity https://t.co/lIX9Ui5Ozh

@g00nshow @DadsArmyFans Not sure there’s any significance in it - it’s seen in other episodes in series 3 - perhaps just an early wardrobe choice before Ian Lavender got to pick the claret and blue Aston Villa one that made more appearances

We’re hoping to do some research looking at ultra processed food discussions and parent wellbeing, spending & food choices for their children. If you’ve got a child under 5 we’d love your thoughts on our ideas, especially if … (cont)

Lovely to be back out on an ambulance with @SJA_DConlon … almost as lovely as the choc orange hot chocolate

Spending a @stjohnambulance winters day in Derby, crewing 🚑 with Dr Josh @jwhitehurstdr supporting #EMAS

It's only a little chilly out there today! 🥶

Hospital league tables are a disastrous idea.

You do not improve standards by shaming hard-working NHS staff, damaging morale and adding unnecessary stress.

We should support - not scapegoat - our medics. That means giving them the resources they need to provide care for all.

PLEASE SHARE! 😊

There has been a recent amendment to my thesis study.

The project is now looking at barriers men experience when seeking support for an eating disorder/ difficulty (please note you do NOT need a diagnosis to take part).

My first (and hopefully not last) piece of research has been typed up... now time to wait for marking ⏳

Excited to soon share my findings about how we can better teach medical students about the incredibly important topic of eating disorders #MedicalEducation

[Josh Whitehurst @jwhitehurstdr]

@jamesldowns I wonder if better resourcing of overstretched services would make this problem go away …

Would that then lead to a re-writing of the first line treatment models that focus on motivation and early change, or would that see the flourishing of alternative pathways 🤔

[Josh Whitehurst @jwhitehurstdr]

@srwiggins Looks fab!

Ethical limits and compassion in action - thought-provoking symposium at #RCPsychIC - audience support for training & support ++ in relational care, & for more psychiatrists doing therapy. Being SAS Dr @RCPsychSASdocs = I get job balance and chance to develop psychotherapy skills

[Dr Sarah Edwards @drsarahedwards]

Are you a HCP or HCP student? Do you teach healthcare students?

We are interested in your thoughts around terminology used in health profession education.

@paulsabine @Stuart__Maddock @shadennison @Sharon__Bishop @MaxineOBrien75 @kay_marie83 I came across https://t.co/BUHWNUBx50 a few weeks ago - might be the kind of thing you’re looking for?

[Josh Whitehurst @jwhitehurstdr]

@guidelinexpert @marinadpol @RCOphth Please think about checking out how the hospital is funded and who it serves https://t.co/13gUq6FFtz charitable funders have been sponsoring trips to help people better understand its work for many years, not just RCOphth during the current conflict escalation

Did you know @beatED estimate that 1.25 million people have an eating disorder in the UK, and 25% of those with an eating disorder are male?

Eating disorders are complex conditions which impact on an individuals’ mental and physical health.

@DrKidneyAsh Congratulations 🙌🏼

A person with Dyspraxia may move differently to other people, but they are not clumsy or strange.
Sending love to everybody affected by this condition.

@RobJimFleming Our lovely admin team made new office signs this week, and accidentally promoted me from specialty doctor. Might ask for the pay rise in job planning this week 😉 valued in my small corner of psychiatry, even if not in the college
