Under the Conservatives, people are waiting longer than ever to see a GP In 2023, 61 million people had to wait longer than two weeks for an appointment and almost 18 million had to wait more than four weeks Please RT if you agree the Tories must go theguardian.com/society/arti…

It was great to be with likeminded clinicians so used to working with trauma and so determined to get those who live with trauma included in research- thank you @bhasnip @SPFT_NHS
What a fabulous & inspiring day. It was wonderful hearing about your work. Your determination was infectious & we are definitely left more driven to help increase the evidence of arts therapists @SPFT_NHS @Research_SPFT @celialesquerre #improvingaccesstopsychologicaltherapies

Thanks to @AttuneProject we know impact of invalidation. As we specialise in validating young people’s experience by staying with their spoken or embodied metaphors these guys are worth following for all DTS. Great to work with; great research @badthofficial @DramatherapySCT
🌟 This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we advocate that emotions are valid, and it's time we start acknowledging them. #AttuneProject looks into creating #supportiveenvironments and #challengingnorms. It uncovers invalidation faced by youth in home, school, care and health sectors.

As @nickhayesillus1 says, it’s not swimmers poisoning our rivers or ramblers burning moorland. It's water firms dumping sewage, landowners burning peat & Govt failing to help farmers adopt agroecological farming. We must enable public to be guardians of nature, not its destroyers

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff. Please can you help us today by following us and retweeting this?

People will celebrate many things today. But not this. It’s perfectly reasonable to protest peacefully against the monarchy. The police shouldn’t be locking people up. The King is supposed to defend our liberties. That’s what today’s about theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…
