Happy mothers day to all the mums and all the aunties who support them. Thinking today too of those today whose mums are no longer with us or have difficult relationships. Children are precious and they need our love, support and protection longer than you think.

The Garron Noone thing is a real microcosm of what is wrong these days. Say anything on internet without evidence, believing you are the one truth, then become a victim and split the world with supporters and challengers. Rinse and repeat, while nothing changes for people who actually need help.

The more I'm involved in PPI in areas like eating disorders, mental health and obesity care, the more frustrated I become at the lack of understanding. Its also a challenge to balance your lived experience with your research experience. I have to find time and a suitable forum to write about this.

Our commentary on commercial influences on patient & public involvement is out today @healthpromint.bsky.social as part of special issue on the #CDoH. We hope to stimulate discussion & debate (& hopefully meaningful action) in this area academic.oup.com/heapro/artic... @jameslarkin13.bsky.social
