Yes, therapy helps heal trauma. Learning about the mind-body connection is also a great resource. What is often overlooked is the power of validation. The words that tell someone we don’t think they’re crazy, we think they’re hurting. This has immediate and lasting impact.

It’s funny, I remember when I was a kid and my mum explained periods to me and I was like - sorry, what the fuck?? This sounds appalling??? And now I’ve been menstruating for nearly 20 years I have to say - I was spot on

Reasons why this is NOT good
1️⃣ We have a RETENTION problem not recruitment
2️⃣ without experienced RNs who is going to educate in PLEs
3️⃣ we have a shortage of nurse academics. So again, who is going to educate them?
4️⃣ plug the multiple holes in bucket BEFORE adding more water – at Ingliston, Scotland
We're investing in & growing our future workforce. Student nurses & midwives will increase by 8.7% in 22/23, total intake = 4837.
10th consecutive year of growth, with intake doubling over last 10 years.
Mental health nursing ⬆️20% from previous year.

I'm thinking we pediatricians need to write a book called "weird, creepy shit newborns do that are totally normal and why". – at Corpus Christi, TX

The Golem effect is where our behaviour leads to poorer student performance.
It's where we place lower expectations on our students, and consequently their performance is worse.
If you've ever had a supervisor who doesn't believe in you, you'll know this effect well.

The sheer contempt and callousness contained in the word "only". As if only perfectly healthy children count.

Women who stand up for themselves get penalized.
51 studies: a woman who negotiates for herself fears—and faces—backlash as selfish & aggressive.
If she negotiates for others, suddenly she seems caring.
I want to live in a world that celebrates women advocating for themselves.

NHS staff this winter, when its dark when they arrive to work and dark when they leave work.

So nice to see my commentary on covering rota gaps, in this week @bmj_latest along with @parthaskar and @TharushaGunawa4
We have a moral duty with our patients but also with ourselves.
So, as doctors, it's also our moral duty to take care of our #wellbeing and #mentalhealth

It’s obvious that the NHS won’t be able to deliver for everyone this winter. You have a choice about who to get angry with. One option is NHS staff, who are doing their best despite not having the resources they need. The other is the politicians who deny them those resources.

What I’ve learnt over 29yrs:
•MH services are underfunded
•People with a mental illness are some the strongest people I know
•We don’t support carers enough
•Continuity of care is golden
•Compassion and authentic hope vital
•MH needs more funding

“Put simply, it is more difficult to keep children safe from adversity if families are living in material hardship. Poverty ... causes toxic stress within families, putting them at increased risk,” said the study’s co-author David Taylor-Robinson #KeeptheLifeline
1,500 additional children a year would taken into care and 5,500 extra children placed on child protection plans as a result of the explosion in child poverty caused by the removal of the £20-a-week universal credit uplift, a study has predicted.

Repeat after me:
STUDENT NURSES ARE ADULTS.
They come with life experience, transferable skills, and they just want to learn.
They’re working punishing hours while doing assignments and doing extra shifts to be able to survive.
Our student nurses deserve respect.
