Fantastic - many congrats

Grateful to FM and DFM for taking the time to meet MH Policy group. Really useful discussion- potential psychological effects of Covid on the population and on health care staff, and also on the future developments for services when the crisis is over

The #GiantsCauseway has been there for at least 6024 years. It’ll still be there next year. #StayAtHome

Delighted that our Northern Ireland regional Staff Health and Wellbeing Framework is published. It is evidence based, developed in collaboration with HSCB, BSO, PHA, Trusts and Trade Unions, it is based on the British Psychological Society guidance paper. See resources on Public Health Agency website

And the corridors, offices and wards went silent. Today at 11am we bow our heads for those key workers who have lost their lives caring for others. #NeverForgotten #IWMD20 💙 #minutesilence

We are very aware that the current pandemic is causing a high level of stress and anxiety for all staff. To help staff at this difficult time, we have launched a Confidential Staff Wellbeing Helpline. ☎️ It is so important to look after your own #healthandwellbeing 🌈 #covid19

Today we celebrate #ThankfulThursday, by thanking ALL staff, across all disciplines, including those who were redeployed and those who returned from retirement! Thank you for your dedication in the fight against COVID-19. 💙🌈 #TeamSET #ProudOfOurStaff #SETLeadership

Great to see Clinical Psychology training increased by 25% across England. One course in N. Ireland. No word on increased places, yet poorest access to psychology in uk and highest morbidity, suicide rates, trauma... @RobinSwannMoH Department of Health @HSCBoard Public Health Agency DCPNI

Just because there’s no where to go doesn’t mean you should keep going! Using your annual leave has never been more important .. rest and restore .. pass the baton for a while .. Northern Trust @NHSCTStaff

It is illegal in the Uk to call yourself a Clinical Psychologist if you are not registered with the Health Professions Council. Please check the register if you are concerned about someone using this title. ⁦DCPNI⁩ ⁦HCPC⁩ hcpc-uk.org/concerns/what-…

Well done and thanks to RobinSwannMoH for all you have done for HSC in the hardest of times. Particular thanks for your focus on mental health services throughout your time in office. The next stage for Department of Health is to ringfence the funding for implementation of MH Strategy.
