@Hipkins78 Thank you Nick. I was really sad not to be at SEPSIG in person but great to hear the talk resonated. Maybe I can come back and tell you the results of the current study!

[Rowan Diamond @rowan_diamond]

Physical inactivity matters. Tell us. Listen to us. Ask us. A call to action to recognise the ways in which care-givers could help towards increasing physical activity and decreasing sedentary behaviour in patients with psychosis. New paper out now: https://t.co/75DousJBot

@Davidiris1 @CizCG @simon_rosenbaum @JosephFirthUoM Thanks for your support in highlighting the perspective of carer-givers. Their accounts gave such a wealth of information about what we could do together to support more physical activity and break up sedentary time. Huge thanks to all the participants, advisors and co-authors.

[David Smith @david3012]

Such important research. With poor physical health driving much of the disparity in life expectancy for people with SMI increasing physical activity can be literally life saving. This should be a core part of any recovery/care programme and plan.

@ResearchHumber Hugely enjoyed meeting so many inspirational people who are passionate about research. This conference is a fantastic example of a trust showcasing research and what it can do for real people in the real world. Thanks for having me!

From listening to patients, carers, and staff: a framework and clinician checklist to promote movement and physical activity in patients diagnosed with psychosis. This is fantastic work by @rowan_diamond. @OxPsychiatry @BMJMentalHealth https://t.co/mOehMxxQ1Q

[Dr Emma Černis @ECernis]

Absolutely excellent work by @rowan_diamond.

This is a masterclass on translating high quality research into a straightforward, practical tool for clinicians to support their clients in a meaningful way.

Please share with all the clinicians you know!!

Wonderful to see this peer methods qualitative evaluation from @McPinFoundation of the patient experience of the Feeling Safe programme for treating persecutory delusions @ThomasKabir @ipanalysis @FelicityWaite @OxPsychiatry https://t.co/2vaKHkSIqp

[Daniel Freeman @ProfDFreeman]

Really great work from @rowan_diamond indicating three distinct physical activity profiles of people with persecutory delusions: a mobile but inactive group (63%), an immobile and inactive group (27%), and a mobile and active group (11%) @OxPsychiatry https://t.co/PFheq9R4Bd

[Rowan Diamond @rowan_diamond]

Next week is #RunAndTalkWeek! Running (and walking) provide great opportunities to talk about mental health and wellbeing, as well as boosting your health. Who can you encourage to come for a run? 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃🐕

[Rowan Diamond @rowan_diamond]

@ST_Culture @charliemackesy Congratulations @charliemackesy! That translates into a lot of people taking comfort and joy from your wise words and moving art.

[Rowan Diamond @rowan_diamond]

Thanks so much to Dom from @topshealth for helping me get back on the road for my marathon training! Looks like I'll be able to run for @McPinFoundation as planned! 🏃‍♀️🎉

[Rowan Diamond @rowan_diamond]

@movingmedicine Highly recommend this course! It's packed with loads of useful information and skills development so that *all* of us can introduce the idea of becoming more physically active, especially to patients who lose so much through inactivity. Thank you @movingmedicine

[Rowan Diamond @rowan_diamond]

@McPinFoundation 🤣 Thanks @McPinFoundation for giving me another chance to test out my secret weapon!
