A remarkable gift for a remarkable group of clinicians and academics - here's to ever grater success!.

A small swing among about 2% of RCPsych members is certainly not significant. It acknowledges the care & thoughtfulness of all speakers. We need similar care in service provision. That would hugely reduce risk of people with mental ill-health ever thinking death the only option.

RT @dineshbhugra: Sir David Goldberg obituary ⁦@guardian⁩ today.

He was such a life force from whom so many benefited - patients and services as well as generations of trainee clinicians and researchers - he created spaces where people could thrive and develop. We must try hard to sustain that for him.

- and how many people know that a recall doesn't just mean a few days while possible problems are investigated more fully and, where necessary, solutions put in place, but, t best, months back in prison with huge added admin & legal costs in moving forward.

RT @TheHowardLeague: The government is expected to make a significant announcement tomorrow as it searches for a solution to the prison cap….

Adequate planning essential! More focus also needed on preventing imprisonment when community alternatives would be safer for them and us. For those with mental ill health, Mental Health Treatment Requirements may be an option

- and that is only one small part of the crisis!.

The best!.

So true! - & a very important step would be to stop clinical labelling of anyone as a 'psychopath', a term with the same resonance as 'cretin' or 'imbecile. Maybe 'psychopathy' still has meaning, but even so we'd do better more specifically, e.g. for emotion recognition deficits.

Important information as people who are currently inpatients may need help to secure their vote in the coming general election

Here's a prison space that could be freed in a very short time, given the will - unless too much damage has been done by the seeming injustice off this situation.

All parties please note; first we need safer and healthier communities.

One of the most generous men I know anticipated hard work in his profession, but when needed he switched careers to become a carer. Such work can only end with sadness, but his reflections are warm, funny and useful lessons for our competitive politicians:

So, longer sentences and recent advice to arrest fewer peoples are working well, then?.

RT @MargaretAtwood: The Handmaid's Tale Was Removed from an Idaho School Library. This Teen Handed a Copy to the Superintendent At Graduati….

Such an important step. There will still be a lot to do to help everyone touched by these sentences, but this allows for better, safer futures if we continue working together. Much credit to everyone who has done so to get this far.

They work tirelessly and we owe so much to them! Thank you Michelle and team!.

And we need psychiatrists to help with solutions. Many who were given this sentence had mental disorder related needs at the time. Given the state of our prisons & the injustice of still holding people on a now abolished sentence, needs have only increased.
