I’m a liaison psychiatrist with a PhD looking at capacity in assisted suicide. I know my way around the MCA and assess capacity regularly. Am I confident I would get the capacity assessment right for people requesting AS? No #AssistedDyingBill

I wrote this in response to the previous Bill but it still stands bmj.com/content/351/bm…

We're worried the UK government might scrap the Mental Health Investment Standard.

Momentous outcome. Crosses line on how we support most vulnerable. Painful to see expressions of disability campaigners. Medical ethics profoundly changed. Disturbing to see so many medical institutions adopting neutrality & interpreting this as silence. #AssistedDying

As psychiatrists, we’re at the frontline of assessing mental state, capacity, and potential coercion in complex assisted dying cases. Our expertise is going to matter for safeguarding vulnerable people. Why exclude the Royal College of Psychiatrists from these vital discussions?

Very proud of my brother in law!

A joint statement has been sent to MPs from Royal College of Psychiatrists and Royal College of Physicians ahead of the debate today highlighting key concerns about the TIA #AssistedDyingBill

Claire has overseen a period of pretty substantial (unprecedented?) growth in spending on mental health services ... Yet it's miles away from meeting need and demand The commitment to that growing investment now very clearly at an end
