Many thanks to @kmachin @ThePatrickNyika and @PinkSkyThinking for writing a commentary on our review findings from a position of lived experience of service use or as family members of service users. Their commentary is on page 22 of the preprint.
Our @MentalHealthPRU team has updated a previous systematic review on service users' and carers' experiences of compulsory admission under mental health legislation: here is the pre-print version (no peer review yet) medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
As in our systematic review five years ago, we found consistency in reports from carers around the world. This time there were some reports of the consequential impacts of coercion on carers.

When we started we were hoping that our review update would serve as a baseline record of service user and carer experiences before reforms to the Mental Health Act were rolled out in the England and Wales. Now we don't know when reforms will come.

What do we know about peer support for mental health?

Good news about further funding for the Mental Health Policy Research Unit. The unit includes many researchers with lived experience of using mental health services and the unit's studies benefit from their insights.

Many thanks to our 20 perceptive interviewees, research team of 5, 2 helpful reviewers, and 2 writers who have added a lived experience commentary. I’ve really enjoyed this collaboration.
When we interviewed members of the public as part of our evaluation of NHS Better Health – Every Mind Matters, we got a great response. Our findings are now published @BMCPublicHealth rdcu.be/c6wP7

Hi Josh,
To date, the government has used £320 million of taxpayer money to indemnify the train operators against any losses on strike days.
That money would have more than covered the cost of any pay rises.
