uofg.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Please consider participating in this fab DClinPsy study. Clinicians and researchers talk about relapse in psychosis but there is no agreed definition and certainly not one that includes the perspectives of people with psychosis or their supporters.

Carrying on the tradition of adding new things to my signature for the new academic year…🥰

Peter Krykant kept the lives being lost to drugs in the public eye & shamed the Scottish gov into action. His van prevented overdoses & and continues to so as, without it, The Thistle wouldn’t exist. It was a privilege to know him. I hope he’s at peace. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/peter-k...

This times a million! Going down a teaching-specialist lecturing track IS an intentional choice for many of us on that route. Some of us actually love teaching, love working with staff to also enjoy teaching, and ensuring universities adhere to their civic duty of being EDUCATIONAL spaces.

ON THE GROUND | ‘I can’t protect my unborn baby from HIV’: The stark reality of Trump’s aid cuts

Clear and concise analysis of today's ruling from @jessothomson.co.uk. Particularly insightful point about the Court's definition of ‘biological sex’ as 'the sex of a person at birth' (i.e. what's on your birth certificate), which is about documentation and presumption rather than actual biology.

The FPH is deeply concerned about the announced £4.8 billion cut to disability and health-related benefits. This cut comes at a time of rising poverty and directly undermines the government’s aim of tackling health inequalities and child poverty. www.fph.org.uk/news/fph-res...

This is the text of the email just sent to hundreds of international students telling them that their visas have been revoked due to activism or social media posts.
