@drladesmith.bsky.social good question and answer session this morning, thanks. BTW, I was one of the last people in the UK to have the smallpox vaccine. Was going on a school trip to Switzerland, someone in a lab here (in the UK)caught it, so we needed the vaccine to enter Switzerland.

“Reforms to the welfare system must be focused on supporting people to join and remain in the job market without penalising those who may never be able to work” - RCPsych President @drladesmith.bsky.social on the government’s welfare reforms. Read more below: www.rcpsych.ac.uk/news-and-fea...

At the Bethlem last week, Seni Lewis training. Feeling humbled meeting the staff, always amazed at how they do their jobs with the pressures they face. It was my first visit to the Bethlem in a while; got to meet up with @raj_psyc. Always good to have a chat. And of course Arlo

This is absolutely hilarious. Russell Brand shares fake redacted file claiming that Penelope Keith shot JFK. Clearly didn't read it. Mind you, it's no madder than some of the other theories.

🚨 NEW: The RCPsych has identified plans that would result in funding cuts for children and young people’s eating disorder services in more than half of areas across England. We're calling for the creation of a national strategy for eating disorders in England. www.rcpsych.ac.uk/news-and-fea...

I like the Beatles a lot, don't get me wrong. But this is the kind of song you play 24 hours a day to an enemy spy in a CIA cell.

Vaccines do not cause autism. Keep saying things that have been demonstrated by robust science and are the subject or organised disinformation. Don’t just ignore the attempts to brainwash. #academicsky

Anglian Water passed thousands of pollution tests at sewage plants that weren’t carried out. That's what happens when companies self certify. Sewage dumping under stated. Will get worse, regulators required to promote growth i.e. keep quiet, fewer fines. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

80 years ago Auschwitz was liberated. More than one million children, women and men were murdered there as part of the Holocaust. A dark lesson of history; humanity owes it to each of the victims to ensure it will never happen again. #HolocaustMemorialDay

My first Seni Lewis training sessions of 2025. Yet again, another cohort of dedicated staff. How they do their jobs with the pressure they face is amazing. We need so many more of them. Thank you to all of them. @raj-psyc.bsky.social @drladesmith.bsky.social

It didn’t take a genius to see the Conservative plan. Starve the NHS of money until services failed and people complained. Then say ‘Look the NHS is broken'. And hand it to private firms that care only for profit not our welfare.

Met a brilliant bunch of students at the nurse induction last week. All seemed engaged in my story as a carer. Hopefully, they have learned the importance of listening to carers. @raj-psyc.bsky.social

Any news outlets calling this ‘accidental’ or ‘appears to be’ or ‘similar’ - it’s a literal Nazi salute. We see you.

Wait? So in the same day, Trump says he'll "restore freedom of speech & end censorship", yet demands a bishop "apologise" for saying what she wanted about trans people & immigrants? Which is it? Free speech or not free speech? 🤔 Or just free speech for billionaires?

It's very funny that Musk has apparently been working with Cummings. Makes perfect sense.

Labour Secretary of Science Peter Kyle is right: 'After an election, you don’t go back to zero, you don’t start with a clean slate. The Tories left us with a broken economy, public services on their knees, and our international relationships in tatters.' #ukpolitics

I’m asking if anyone knows more about the status and safety of our colleague, Dr Abu Safiya. Whilst he is not the only Gazan doctor detained by Israel, it’s difficult to not be very concerned about his detention and treatment.
