"This is the tenth year I have read this list"

Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips reads names of women killed by men over the last year in the UK

It takes her more than four minutes

Let's end the judgement.

Just seen this terrible subtitle & poor reporting from @guardian.

Basing a judgement of 'mentally disturbed' on the sanist speculation of a tour bus manager?!

We need urgent #media guidelines on the reporting of violence & serious #MentalHealth problems.

Dear Mr Sunak,
On behalf of pretty much every doctor in the land, pretty much every person on a waiting list in the land, pretty much every sick person in the land, and increasingly most voters in the land...

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

Dear Mr Sunak,

I am writing on behalf of the whole NHS mental health and charity sector services as we are a bit too knackered to do another consultation.

Changing PIP would be disastrous and cost lives +++

Even suggesting it has triggered a lot of people today.

Thanks,

All.

@pharmthorrun Singing to the choir here - lots of non-Pharmacy folks still think they're the universal panacea though...

@robfub @TheGPhC Hear hear! I've fed back repeatedly on some of the at best unhelpful terminology and principles used in this. We need to mitigate significant risk here but also retain our person focus!

[Daniel Wilkes @dan_wilkes]

I'm beginning to get really fed up of the focus of our media on attacking the most effective mental health treatments and making them nearly impossible to prescribe, rather than tackling the lack of adequate services to safely use them.

Everything is "controversial" to this lot.

Dear @MHRAmedicines @MHRAgovuk & CHM why are specialist neurology & MH pharmacists not good enough to be second signatories when we are the ones writing the policies, doing the audits & advising these professions listed how to comply with the PPP? @davidwebb_1 #valproate

Just told 200 medical students tramadol is the Donald Trump of pain medicines: dangerous, irrational, and you're going to regret it

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day. The theme; "Mental health is a universal human right." As I struggle with my mental health again, I recognise my fortune, with ready access to high quality psychiatic services. If only we saw the humanness in all & we enjoy the same. #WMHD2023

@AndyW606 Yes, it's lovely there - one of my favourite finds so far.
