I started a new account which is basically a place to gather evidence relating to AHPs and Healthcare - with some biases towards Mental Health, Community and Leadership (my own biases). Bit of an experiment, give it a follow if you like @ahpevibp.bsky.social

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Nothing quite as humbling for a brit as going on holiday and the pilot taking off and landing an aeroplane while simultaneously delivering messages in three different languages.

Late to the party here I'm sure, but generative AI and job application personal statements is horrible. Spotting the pattern is easy enough but then you just can't trust anything anyone's written. Reduces applications to qualifications and experience only which really misses an opportunity

Inequity in action: Why minoritised ethnic patients are more often rapidly tranquilised & what needs to change
New review shows minoritised ethnic patients are 32% more likely to get rapid tranquilisation in mental health hospitals.
It’s a stark example of systemic racism & bias in care.

20 minutes into Toxic Town - not heard a Northamptonshire accent yet. I'm aware there were a lot of scots due to the steel industry - was not aware it was a full scale take over.

Add to the evidence pile of 'why don't the public understand more about community care' - it's easy to report on hospitals, it's easier to measure hospitals and the power in systems is generally concentrated in the acute sector. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A great thread that you should read all of, but if I could like a post more than once it would be this one.
Finally on prevention. PAC says that a continued focus on elective and acute services stymies prevention
That is key. And is not helped by the govt making elective performance *the* metric for health mission. The system focuses on these targets, all this will do is direct more resource to hospitals

My @thestorygraph.com reads from 2024 - I aimed to read 50 and got to 46 which is not bad. Starting off with some comfortable Sci-Fi I did diversify across the year. Most impactful were probably 'Flowers for Algernon' and 'Kim Jiyoung Born 1982'. Going into the new year re-reading LOTR #booksky

Kemi can eat whatever she wants, but can we please stop lionising working through lunch?
We've all done it on occasion but it doesn't make you some productivity hero, and it's a terrible message to send to staff under you when you make it clear, as she does, that it's an expectation.

We are watching a Hallmark Christmas film where a big town doctor moves to a small Alaskan town and becomes a GP and I can't stop thinking about where she is getting adequate supervision from.

Really helpful paper that gives some evidence based advice on designing a built environment which supports recovery
If you were planning to build a new #MentalHealth #hospital, what would it need to include? We interviewed end users of a proposed new build and discovered critical design principles to inform the build of spaces to support and promote mental health recovery: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
