We hate asking for followers. But we hate fox hunting even more. It’s why we will never be ashamed to ask for support here on Twitter. Because the more of us there are the faster we can end this sick pastime. RT and follow Protect the Wild if you’re with us! 🦊

Pathetic PR opportunity on the backs of those the Tories have caused to be homeless #GTTONow

Can we function without Nurses? No. Can anyone get a job as a nurse? No. Do we have enough nurses? No. Should we pay nurses fairly, retain staff and improving staffing levels. Yes. Retweet if you agree! #FairPayforNursing #NursesStrike #RCNStrike

and I would have got away with it had it not been for the left wing economic establishment

Borderline Personality Disorder as a label is increasingly recognised as a motivated characterisation used as a tool to deny individuals in need care and reinforcing harmful prejudices. It can strengthen patients' deepest insecurities+ further marginalise those already let down.

This is a brillant discussion that everone in MH needs to hear youtube.com/watch?v=pnL_VO…

Well worth a read @PUNC14 #MHN

Recruiting more nurses without retaining and rewarding them is not the answer. It’s akin to turning on a water tap but leaving the drain plug out.

I was proud to co-author this with colleagues, adding to Nursing and Midwifery Council reading list, and continuing to draw attention to the scandal of diluted #MentalHealth nurse education in the UK. Some highlights (with gifs). (1/10) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/in…

One reason I care so much about #MentalHealth nurse education, is knowing that people diagnosed with 'borderline personality disorder' are often met with #MentalHealth nurses who don't know how to help them. Doing a literature review I found this today: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/in…

" Nursing and Midwifery Council and others may have believed that reducing nursing to the notion of being a nurse first and field of practice second, would solidify professional identity. This was foolhardy. " onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/in…

This is an excellent paper - all MH workers should read

I joined Abertay Mental Health in January and I'm already feeling the benefit of having a course with a sole focus on #MentalHealth nursing. I know not all universities are as lucky. Should it all come down to luck though? 🤔#MHNursesDay

MH nursing is a very complex and specialist skill set. It is not “an option”. To think it is something that can be “tacked on the end”demonstrates both a dearth of understanding and continuing lack of parity of esteem.

This paper should be read by all mental health nurses and MH nurse educators . Our specialism must not be allowed to be diluted by Genericism

Personality Disorder: The Patients Psychiatrists Dislike is an excellent paper by louis appleby form 1988 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3224249/ To potentially keep children out of this category, do consider adding your name to, and sharing the letter below 👇

A reminder on Mental Health Nurses Day that the job is hugely complicated, and to do it well, a decent education helps. A decent education before going into these roles is not guaranteed under our current system. #MHNursesDay #MHDeservesBetter onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
