With your support, we were delighted to donate Switch consoles & games for the @KingsCollegeNHS liver department! This was a project in conjunction with hospital staff + service user group, and is in memory of Jonathan Carroll, a King's patient who sadly passed away aged 41.

@Xeon4f145d96s1 Physician associates need a 2yr Masters lvl qualification and can be highly skilled (think nurse prescriber). I say they both need more pay!

@Mattbklee The culture shift is an important consideration. Particularly in psych where in UK having sufficient time per individual and a receptive MDT to holistically address concerns is key to the system here. Would appreciate your opinions on this!

@geopsychiatry @farooqnaeem7 @Sathnam @DalrympleWill @RaoMala @SameiHuda Impressive work! Have shared with my network. Would be interesting to see if/how it needs to be adapted for the UK context.
