Interesting experience lecturing today. Criticised for criticising the diagnosis of BPD by students hoping to enter Clinical Psychology. Apparently I was increasing stigma against it simply by talking about it. Sorry, that’s not how it works…
RT plse. Our co-researcher Adrian is still desperate for a decent e-wheelchair. Anyone have one to give away or sell at reasonable cost? We'll arrange posting. @LearningDisEng @ElfridaSociety @mencap @PeopleFirstDor @RoseUnwin @LisaR_Psy @DanGoodley @ProfRHastings
RT + help plse if you can! My colleague + friend Adrian is a wheelchair user whose NHS e-wheelchair is once again broken. Last year he spent 7 weeks largely housebound when it needed repair. Does anyone have an e-wheelchair in good condition they no longer need? @Uclusresearch
Important new work on stigma, discrimination + violence experienced by women w disabilities globally. Completed in partnership with @UNDP + @unwomen by @KScior + @AseelHamid_
🚨 Hot off the press - pleased to share 1st outputs from research project completed with @UNDP + @UNWomenWatch on stigma + discrimination experienced by women w disabilities. Thanks @AseelHamid_ for co-piloting. Women with disabilities stigma inventory (WDSI) - World | ReliefWeb

We'll cover postage in case a kind soul can offer an e-wheelchair. Adrian has a learning disability, physical disabilities + is on benefits. He's a recent widower + cancer survivor who is really trying to make the best of life in adverse circumstances. So plse help if you can! 🙏

Special moment of celebration + supervisor joy. Our 1st ever @Uclusresearch PhD student @JemBhatt has only just done it again + submitted her @UCL_DClinPsy thesis. Both important advances in our understanding of dementia related stigma. @AgingPsychol

So pleased to share my first ever publication ☺️
New review led by @h_butterworth examining staff and patients experience of restrictive practices on inpatient wards. Patient and staff experiences overwhelmingly negative. More improvements needed. @KiwiRowebot cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Seems like we smashed it once again, this time jointly w @UCL_DClinPsy, in laying on a truly inclusive, inspirational event. At times, could have heard a pin drop, despite 250+ in the room. Massive thanks to all speakers + attendees

Plse RT. Can you help us engage with past users of inpatient MH wards? Study on dehumanisation in such settings. @JamesScurryUK @ahmedhankir @kscior

More #disabilityhatecrimes perpetrated against SEN kids by those entrusted with their education. Any wonder parents are on high alert? Please @keirstarmer @yvettecooper help us out when you’re in. #SENDReform Children mocked & held in headlocks by staff… bbc.com/news/articles/cp6643…
