Great article on London FDAC @TaviAndPort
“FDAC sent me on courses & taught me all about boundaries, how things should be & how to manage my emotions in a healthy way... They were there with me holding my hand throughout the whole process.” -FDAC parent

A great day in Leeds today. This morning spending time with some of the other mental health medical directors from around the country thinking about some of the challenges we face and then this afternoon, a topic close to my heart, access to care for young people @NHSConfed

This @LGBTHM, we continue to promote the importance of inclusion for all our staff and patients.
We’re very proud that the NHS Rainbow Badges scheme started @EvelinaLondon has been embraced nationally to demonstrate support for the LGBTQ+ community. (1/3)

Today is Time to Talk Day. Take a moment to talk about your mental health and if you’re struggling, think about talking to your GP about what therapy options may be available to you.

Happy LGBT+ History Month. This year’s theme is medicine. Let’s celebrate the amazing work of LGBT+ staff across the NHS but also remember challenges faced by the LGBT+ community when accessing healthcare leaving people facing health inequalities even today.
Our CEO led our @TaviAndPort Christmas lunch yesterday with a review of the last year as well as looking forward to our plans for 2024. Our CPO, Gem Davies, also took us through our new Trust Vision, Mission and Values.
