A genuinely inspirational few days in lovely Dublin for the 'Restoring Hope' conference. Lots and lots of people doing amazing things - and lots more still to be achieved and explored. Thanks to everyone involved.
We're really excited to launch this today - after lots of work, this collaborative effort between @ClassClin and @UK_ACP is something that we've been thinking about for ages. We hope it will spark useful conversations!
🎉 🧵 Our inclusive recruitment guidance for Assistant Psychologists in the NHS and third-sector developed with @UK_ACP is out today! Massive thanks to everyone involved.

A clinical trial has shown Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) improves quality of life for people with #MND #ALS, when used alongside existing care.
@mndassoc will help support psychologists to deliver ACT to people with MND.

So proud to be able to call @NickHartley a friend & delighted for Byker that they have made such a great choice. I'd love to see more psychologists be active in politics and their communities.

I want to say something to the people with mental health conditions that have got in touch with me worried / panicked about the govt news on possible benefits changes... NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.
- The govt has put out a green paper. That is an EARLY STAGE consultation document. After that may come a white paper.
- These things are not quick, if they happen, and this is a general election year - so whether it will happen at a question.
This type of debate is given attention to create political news and put clear water between parties in an election year.
Sadly doing that in the area of mental health, can have a real human impact, terrifying people about changes that may never happen
So if you're worried about it, while I know its easy to say and hard to do, forget it - for now it is still political hot air.

There is no such thing as “a sick note culture.” There is a record high NHS waiting list, crippling housing costs, widespread food poverty, stagnant wages and inadequate benefit rates, a broken social care system, dire mental health services, and closed Sure Start centres.

My name is Jess, and I am recruiting for my study looking at LGBTQ+ experiences of chronic migraines in the UK! If you are interested in participating please email me at [email protected] ☺️
ALT This is a digital poster explaining a doctorate thesis study opportunity for individuals who experience chronic migraines and who also identify as LGBTQ+, who currently live in the UK and are age 20 to 65. You must either currently be experiencing chronic migraines (experiencing migraines on 15 or more days per month) or have experienced chronic migraines within the past 2 years. The migraines must also be your main health concern. The study will explore personal experiences of chronic migraines as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in the UK. This will be achieved by interviewing between 6 and 10 individuals via telephone or video call. If you agree to take part, your role would involve being interviewed by the primary researcher (Jessica Bragg) on your experience of being LGBTQ+ and living with chronic migraines. The interview will ask you about what life is like for you. It will take approximately between 45 minutes, up to 75 minutes, and will be recorded for transcription purposes.
Brilliant afternoon with the @after_matters team at our workshop thinking about the needs of young people with brain injuries! – at Manchester, England
Feel like @BenMacCam would have enjoyed this spot and shared a video of some wave noises #30secondsofcalm – at Kaikoura District, New Zealand
