Great to see inequalities and inequities spoken about so clearly by Dr. Harpreet Kaur Sihre and the applied public health team UCL

Caught this by chance and I am so grateful! Really brilliant 👏 - can't wait for the next episodes. The stark inequalities in involuntary treatment between ethnic groups is shocking. We've known it for ages, I don't understand how more has not been done.

Thank you Dr Chloe Beale is on hiatus 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ for sharing your experience and articulating so honestly where psychiatry is at in this country. Heartening to hear.

Thank you to everyone at @UCL for giving Maev Conneely the chance to disseminate the PAAM study findings, and our recommendations for clinical practice. A brilliant and engaged group of students!

#BehindtheAcademicVeil is a new #podcast and #blog series centring the voices of racialised and minoritised #students, communities and researchers by engaging in reflexive and reflective discussions on #mentalhealth research and #antiracism

The series will inspire #researchers involved in anti-racism research to rethink how they work with #racialised and minoritised community members, to build an equitable, not transactional, relationship.

I wrote a blog post for Behind the Academic Veil📰 🎉 it's about #positionality & protecting time for #antiracism education, reflection and reflexivity in research about health #inequalities.
