Today's strike has sparked a crucial debate with opposing views. The thread below highlights the motivation for those striking over the next 2 days. Strikes may or may not be the answer, but there is a problem and change is needed #NHSCrisis

Can anyone explain to me why paediatric neurologists aren't prescribing safe and life changing medication? The alternatives are not cheap (and the evidence is limited for the newer meds) so this isn't about money or evidence. What is this about?

Essential pre placement reading @psychiatryofid @rcpsych
