I worked with @AmandaPritchard when she was ceo @GSTTnhs & she was always thinking of how we all improve patient care. As ceo of @NHSEngland she consistently supported a better deal for #Mentalhealth. Thank you Amanda

During my recent spell in a mental health clinic I had a great psychiatrist  - I will thank him forever. Which is why I'm supporting the @RCPsych campaign to encourage doctors to continue to choose psychiatry as a career. #choosepsychiatry visit rcpsych.ac.uk/choose

A disgraceful, brutal summary/ portrayal of mental illness, share of spend, people’s needs, no mention of premature mortality , stigma, the harms of waiting lists. Cruel.
Here's K.Badenoch, who thinks an autism diagnosis entails "economic advantages and protections". She also queries providing school transport for autistic kids & has no idea what neurodiversity/divergence are, and why they have abs nothing to do with, say, anxiety. Pls retweet
