Infections can cause the development of psychiatric & physical symptoms & #SEND in young people. Tina Coope – @panspandasuk.bsky.social – discusses #PANS & #PANDAS & the implications of these conditions for #teaching & pastoral care in #schools https://buff.ly/3EhuBG3 #wellbeing

🌟New blog Tina from @panspandasuk.bsky.social writes for us on PANS PANDAS Awareness Day (today!) Reflecting on some of the nuances of these conditions, the progress made and the steps still needed. Read here: edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/pa... #edpsychs #PANS #PANDAS

"The hallmark of both conditions is the acute and dramatic onset of symptoms. This can be deeply distressing for families and confusing for education professionals." @panspandasuk.bsky.social @senmagazine.co.uk www.senmagazine.co.uk/issues/2025/27766/sen139-2025-november-december/ #EduSky #SEND

#MedSky The current lack of clinical guidelines#PansPandasHour leaves families vulnerable to misinformation, the NHS wasting money on inappropriate care, and children suffering life-threatening, chronic symptoms. This is welcome news. 🧠💔 @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social @claudiahammond.bsky.social

The APPG #PansPandasHour is driving momentum for clinical guidelines—uniting child health, education, SEND & attendance. Why wouldn’t any MP want to back this vital, cross-sector issue? 🧠🤝 @charlotte2153.bsky.social @drrosena.bsky.social @chriswebbmp.bsky.social @greenjennyjones.bsky.social

The absence of UK clinical guidelines for PANS and PANDAS hinders access to prompt, accurate assessment, diagnosis and treatment and creates a postcode lottery for patients: panspandasuk.org/post/work-continues-apace-on-development-of-clinical-guidelines

I'll edit: "Nearly 20 councils at risk of insolvency due to a decade of austerity, rising citizen poverty levels, a developmentally inappropriate curriculum, an exclusionary and within child cultural understanding of SEND, and a decimated teaching workforce" @theguardian.com #edpsychs

Sadly clashes with Mental Health Committee morning session, but have serious FOMO about this breakfast workshop!
