Mental Health Awareness Day left us with a timely reminder of the importance of centring the patient's voice.
In our 'Wim’s protocol: how to safely monitor clozapine' podcast, Kate Northcott shares how her search for answers led to collaboration with experts, resulting in new guidance and a renewed focus on the safe prescribing of clozapine.
Hear how lived experience has shaped Wim's Protocol and is helping to drive meaningful change in patient safety.

In light of the Met Office ‘risk to life’ heat warning in some parts of the UK, Dr Daniel Harwood, Chair of RCPsych’s Planetary Health and Sustainability Committee, advises that individuals with mental health conditions and taking medications including antidepressants, mood stabilising or antipsychotic medications exercise special care, as some medications may heighten vulnerability to dehydration and heat-related illness.
“I’d urge all people, but especially those with a mental illness, to make a concerted effort to stay cool and hydrated, use plenty of sun block and avoid going out during the hottest parts of the day. And if you feel physically unwell, please contact your pharmacy, mental health team or seek urgent medical advice.”
