Welcome to hear bold ambition from @DrRosena today on recruiting more #mentalhealth staff. @CharitySANE long concerned #NHSWorkforce is not big enough or rising at the rate needed to meet demand.
Despite the changing attitudes to other mental illnesses, schizophrenia is still subject to a huge amount of stigma, says Marjorie Wallace, the founder and chief executive of @CharitySANE.

ALT A still from The Silent Twins
"People have been shunted like parcels to where there's a psychiatric bed."
Being in a #mentalhealthcrisis is distressing, yet for many patients the situation is exacerbated when they're sent far away from home for treatment due to a lack of beds.
