Are individuals with mental health conditions at risk of having physical health problems undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or diagnosed late? Read our The Lancet eClinicalMedicine article @Graham_P_Martin @natalieor_ @Annabel_C_Price @olssonab @ilk21 @McPinFoundation

People with mental health conditions face inequalities in diagnosis of physical illness. This paper summarises all we know about the problem. More research is needed to understand why & find solutions.

So many key points in this piece, about psych diagnosis and (the perils of) self-diagnosis, 'normality' vs illness, narratives of self, and the multiple dimensions that make up psychological problems. Brilliant 👏 psychiatrymargins.com/p/diag…

Diagnosis as Self-Understanding & Self-Alienation

Such a thought provoking-read: psychiatrists who show less stigma towards patients have, among other things, sought help for their own mental health, provided psychotherapy to patients, and participated in case discussion, supervision, or Balint groups. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

The UKCP statement represents a serious crisis in therapy. We risk the destruction of the profession. If we remain apathetic, if we don't act now, counselling and psychotherapy in this country are doomed. If we cannot stand up and protect our ethics, we are nothing at all.

The rise of fascism, the psychoanalyst Bollas seems to argue, is driven by a reduction in the inner complexity of people. Interestingly, this is analogous to Plato’s idea in the Republic about what causes tyranny to rise. I think both Plato and Bollas are on to something.
Kemtrup@KemtrupTweets19 Nov 2023
Am reading this paper by Bollas on “Fascistic states of mind” and am interested in what others think. ccc.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/f… I don’t want to make too many political arguments here but this seems like an important topic psychologically one way or the other.

Our paper on using Safety Cases in healthcare is out. Many long-standing improvement issues resurfaced: how to prioritise between risks, managers' economy of attention, clinical agency for solving problems that have roots in systemic weaknesses

1) the trauma industry over claims 2) that has nothing to do with the desperate lack of non-medicalised trauma pathways in the nhs 3) a lack of pre/post studies in early childhood is cos so doing would be ethically dodgy/impossible 4) a lack of evidence isn't evidence of a lack

Attempts to manage culture change in the NHS from above are unlikely to work without sensitivity to the complex nature of culture in such a vast, diffuse organisation. So, what is organisational culture and how does it link to healthcare improvement? ths.im/3QdkNkr

Politicians have brought the NHS to its knees in time for its 75th anniversary. The question is how do we get out of this? @KamranAbbasi on the #NHSat75 in Editor's choice bmj.com/content/381/bmj.p147… #NHS75

The NHS at 75: love, and political consensus, is all you need

The NHS is 75 years old. It is damaged, demoralised, and distracted. It is also loved. By some accounts, love is all you need. And if love weren’t enough, the magic dust of the founding principles...
