Honestly, meds are not the answer & I am a pharmacist

Support is the answer. Accommodations. Improving social programs.

You can make all the meds in the world & if the systems are still not supporting humans then I hate to break it to you, shit will still be fucked

[🌹Lampard Inquiry - Essex Mental Health @MelanieLeahy]

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.

[elle carnitine 🍉 @elle_carnitine]

Being a carer for a disabled person is incredibly hard, but there is a world of a difference between carers who think it’s hard because the disabled person is a burden and those who think it’s hard because the state has abandoned disabled people

@IamCarrieagain Thanks 😊 im buzzing

[Sasha @SashaG95]

I ran for 25mins today without stopping 😁 #couchto5k

[Luba Macpherson @LubaMacpherson]

Absolutely. When services are measured by bed occupancy and length of stay rather than whether the person is actually recovering, the whole system becomes dangerously distorted.

In my daughter’s case, medication was not treated as something requiring careful monitoring, consent, review and accountability. It became something done to her. She suffered degrading treatment in two hospitals and two care homes, including serious concerns about medication management, deterioration, neglect, and the family being shut out when we raised alarm bells.

The most frightening part is that there are almost no effective protection mechanisms. Families complain, escalate, document, beg for review, and the complaints system simply absorbs it, delays it, deflects it, or sends people in circles between the NHS, local authority, CQC, safeguarding and Ombudsman.

That is how abuse continues. Not because families are silent, but because accountability is missing.

Until services are measured by real outcomes, whether people are safer, better, heard, protected, and treated with dignity, the system will keep rewarding discharge targets and paperwork while vulnerable patients pay the price.

I gave evidence to the Nottingham Inquiry on Friday.

In my view the Inquiry will shape mental health care for the next decade, as did the inquiry into the killing of Jonathan Zito in 1992.

I made 3 points:

That in mental health we have a social responsibility…..
