We all depend on care — to grow, to heal, to live. But the care work that sustains us is still undervalued and mostly done by women and girls. Get the facts about unpaid care work and see how it powers the economy: https://t.co/0W5ygb0lbd #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Remember to sign up for the Midnight Discord. I'll do weekly AMAs there starting in December:

Fantastic preview of forthcoming TV series Malice @BFI this eve & @RhiannaDhillon interview with cast members @jackwhitehall, @davidduchovny, Carice van Houten, Writer James Wood & producers Tim Hincks & Imogen Cooper. Really tense, gripping show, it airs on @PrimeVideo on 14 Nov

So moving to see Claire Chick's family receive her posthumous doctoral award. She clearly touched so many lives & her research on promoting resilience in student nurses is so important. Her impact is continued by a fund in her name https://t.co/32zxtQvPje

Such a privilege to be part of a @PlymUni inter-professional learning event yesterday which brought together students from across different health programmes to work together with experts by experience with a range of physical & mental health issues, thanks to @wellconnectedsw🙏

After many years arguing that accreditation in psychology should be only doctoral level, the American Psychological Association has announced it will begin accrediting masters-level professionals, although they won't be able to use the title "Psychologist"

I have just published a new, updated version of my YouTube video "Deciding where to apply for UK Clinical Psychology Training". Hope its helpful. ▶️ https://t.co/dSsOOK2xYB

The 2026 Entry @DCPPreQual Clinical Psychology Training Alternative Handbook has been published today. It contains in-depth perspectives from almost 1,500 current trainees who participated. It really is an invaluable resource for applicants & courses. ➡️ https://t.co/5VXkdAX7Rg

Great preview of forthcoming movie "Sorry, Baby" today @BFI Southbank. Writer & directer @evavictor explained how she set out to focus not on the violence of trauma but the process of healing & support. The result is an authentic & tender story bound with a thread of dry humour.

A-level results day can be incredibly stressful if things don't go to plan. This helpful article from @psychmag helps avoid some decision making pitfalls. ➡️ https://t.co/dr3b2lx8ox

As usual there's loads more than theatre, I highly recommend Women of Rock at which you are guaranteed both a brilliant performance & new insights into the female pioneers of rock music. I didn’t see much comedy, but enjoyed Susie McCabe & heard good things about Kieran Hodgson.

At @edintfest Make it Happen a musical drama about the fall of RBS was brilliant, managing to be both absurd & insightful. The highlight had to be CEO Fred Goodwin & the ghost of Adam Smith (played wonderfully by Brian Cox) karaoke singing Kylie & Jason's hit “Especially for you”

Leaving Edinburgh after 5 days at the Festivals😢 Really missed the @painesplough Roundabout at Summerhall, but still loads of great theatre inc. Ordinary Decent Criminal, MILES. & Paldem, all of which I thought were excellent (imho the @guardian review of the latter is nonsense)

"More than 600 starving people reported killed while desparately seeking food aid. A cruel choice between two deaths." Philippe Lazzarini UNRWA Commissioner General #CeasefireNow

On this day 20 years ago, 52 Londoners, of 18 different nationalities, were killed in 7/7 bombings. Nearly 800 more were injured, many of whom continue to live with the physical & psychological consequences of that day. Remembering them all and their families today.🌹

I was very fortunate to be able to see a preview of #TheSaltPath film this evening with a q&a with author @raynor_winn & screenplay writer Rebecca Lenkiewicz. The film really captures both the beauty of the path & the depth of the relationship that gave them strength to walk it.

An assault on children. An assault on education. A sad day in occupied East Jerusalem. This morning, heavily armed Israeli Forces entered three @UNRWA schools in Shu’fat Camp in occupied East Jerusalem, forcing 550+ girls & boys who were in classrooms out of their schools.

A new study in @ActaPsych from researchers in Canada found that 100% of young people attending a clinic for 1st episode anxiety & mood disorders had read about mental health online & 70% had self-diagnosed. The most frequently reported source was Tik Tok. https://t.co/SvSE78WD8K

Plymouth has just been ranked as the most affordable UK Staycation destination.
