First morning of Student Health Association 73rd annual conference The University of Edinburgh , a wide range of talks, pertinent to #studenthealth

Really interesting aesthetics presentation Dr Nestor. We should be thinking WHY the patients are seeking this. What do they want to achieve? They may need something different than what they think they need to achieve their desired outcome. Significant psycho-social impacts.

Fascinating talk about cultural and social prescribing with Ruthanne Baxter at Student Health Association conference.

Very interesting and informative talk at Student Health Association conference today from Becky Choat SWAN about autistic women. 42% misdiagnosed with mental health problem. Shocking statistic that life expectancy is 58. #Autism

Thank you to all our conference speakers and The University of Edinburgh . Such a beautiful city and we’ve learned so much - a great opportunity for networking, Student Health Association 73rd annual conference!

Lucy makes some fantastic points here. We must stress, it is really worth looking Sarah Crook’s work. She can show that society has been worried about a “crisis” in student mental health since the 1950’s or even earlier.

Our study day has been a success so far! Thank you to all the charities that have some to talk to us about how we can best support care leavers and estranged students at University.

I know they have a lot of friends in low and high places right now and they’re all busy looking after their own. But given there is so much below the tip of the corruption iceberg we don’t yet know about I am beginning to wonder whether we might one day see this lying charlatan
