We need a whole system pathway to support recovery for people with complex psychosis (local inpatient rehabilitation units, supported accommodation and community rehabilitation teams). Cuts to NHS services have caused this scandalous situation. Great to see media highlighting it.
Lack of effective community #RehabPsych care (with skilled supported housing), leading to long admissions for people with complex psychosis & high risks This needs to be a priority for #NHSlongtermplan @rcpsych theguardian.com/society/2019…

There are 256 combinations of symptoms by which an individual could receive a ‘borderline personality disorder’ diagnosis in DSM-V. If we bin all that ideology and meet the person relationally, we have what is actually important-a person in agony who deserves compassion and care.

Watch as Former President Obama completely destroys Donald Trump without a single mention of his name. This is what true leadership looks like! #MandelaLecture

A good meeting this morning with David Elletson from @NFAOuk We need the think to a future which properly values Assertive Outreach instead of focusing on short term £ gain. And in doing so, it’s worth looking to the past centreformentalhealth.org.uk… @raj_psyc @DrG_NHS @skalidindi1

It was a long day and I’m pretty tired after a five hour drive back 😴. But it was good to meet other Assertive Outreach teams. Looking forward to using some idea gained to improve our service #nfaonational2017 #lswqi #nhs #physicalhealth #assertiveoutreach
