Excellent explanations and reflections on the power of the placebo effects on patients with Parkinson’s, I often explore belief and expectation in my sessions and the functional impact of this can be huge!

Really disappointing that the @thecsp have not shown any solidarity
HUGE respect to the trade unions voting at the TUC conference (which represents 5.5 million workers & 48 unions) for voting UNANIMOUSLY for a ceasefire in Palestine & immediate humanitarian aid But NOT my own trade union @thecsp who chose to abstain from voting I’m ASHAMED 🥹
