Been thinking about how much shock there has been about patients being transferred outside of London/SE for critical care beds compare this to no shock at all/little media coverage about out of area #MentalHealth beds being almost the norm #ParityOfEsteem #Psychiatry

☀️ We can't believe that the fifteenth annual #CNGG Summer School in Brain Disorders Research is complete! Thank you to all of our attendees, speakers and Summer School Lead, Professor @GeorgeKirov1 👏

Today, attendees received a tour of @CUBRICcardiff and a plethora of talks on reproductive psychiatry, movement disorders phenotypes and genetics, and Deep Brain Stimulation - just to name a few.🧬 We'll be back tomorrow for Day 3!

If you spot me around this month, you might have seen me sporting some rather lovely rainbow shoelaces. I'm wearing these for Pride Month, in support of LGBT people in Bury St Edmunds, Stowmarket and beyond.

Extremely grateful to @LeverhulmeTrust for awarding me a Research Fellowship grant to pursue the following: ‘Exploring the lives and lived realities of working-class academics in HE’ - across 3 Western nations: United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia. @uel_csc @UEL_News

🚨 We’re aware that 300+ radiology applicants were wrongly given and then denied offers. This unacceptable error has caused immense stress. We demand transparency & accountability. 1/2 🧵👇

Several MRCPCH candidates blocked from taking their exam after months of grueling prep. Why? Because their access codes FAILED. They were left waiting for 7 HOURS, mishandled by an exam centre that showed NO urgency We demand immediate resits. Not in June. NOW. @RCPCHtweets

I cannot understand how Joël Le Scouarnec was convicted of purchasing images of child sexual abuse but considered fit to practice, the hospitals medical director knew & employed him as a paediatric surgeon!? This offence would often result in erasure in the U.K.

'I was almost like a bystander in the process' Some of the 200,000 unmarried mothers who were forced to give their babies up for adoption in Britain are now campaigning for an official apology from the Government. Diana Defries speaks to @kategarraway and @richardm56.

Clinical Academics These are clinicians jointly employed by HEIs and the NHS to research and teach alongside their clinical work. Although they play an important role in medical education, universities across the country are increasingly unable to afford them. (5/5)

Does anywhere pay remotely near to this? Fees for Mental Health Act assessments

Presented a case at the EFPT group today, what a brilliant opportunity to think about all the emotional aspects of a case. Nice to be on the other side presenting rather than facilitating. Thanks to Gemma & Alina. #Balint #BalintGroup #ReflectivePractice

I really wish people wouldn’t post this sort of video, it reflects so badly on the medical profession, and just makes patients thinks people are mocking them. It also relies on a number of biases and misinformation with regards to pain assessment. #TikTok

Willem Arondéus was a 🇳🇱 artist, author and member of the resistance. He bombed the Amsterdam records office to make it difficult for the Nazis to round up Jews. His last words before execution were "Tell people that homosexuals are not cowards." #LGBTplusHM #LGBTQHistoryMonth

Our latest study on differential attainment in UK surgery has just been published in @bmj_latest We found females were 32% more likely than males to be successful at national training selection A great result that needs to be widely promoted 😀 https://t.co/HGwvabalAX

So the 25 medical apprentices studying at Anglia Ruskin med school will be the only ones now the brakes have been put on most level 7 apprenticeships. Wonder if this will mean it is really closely evaluated as a model for #WideningParticipation in medical schools? #MedEd #HPE

@antongyan Historical examples of this caused indentured doctors required to do mandatory service in unpopular areas for fixed periods in such systems to leave. https://t.co/K7XV8ZGmrt

@GroomB @davidsjudge @AnthonyHorowitz Book 5 of 2025 #Manhunt by @scumbelievable, all ready for @QueerLitUK book club next week. Very different from the last book club book.

WARNING: Have you started to notice "pay by bank app" options at online check-outs. If so it's quicker, it's easier but be aware there's LITTLE PROTECTION. It's on the likes of Just Eat and Ryanair. You don't give card details, just pick your bank, and log into the app (via

To be clear - I gave evidence today to PBC on #AssistedDyingBill as an individual not on behalf #rcpsych. Frustrating format and sense of minds made up. But interesting to be told by Kim Leadbeater that I don’t understand suicide in life limiting illness.
