Claire, as we're calling out "terrible" things, do you agree it's terrible that NHS #mentalhealth head honchos have stopped commissioning NICE-recommended evidence-based care for folks with severe & enduring #mentalillness, who continue to suffer needlessly & die decades early?

Seeing as you are in the mood for number crunching and graphic design, we would like to see the figures/infographic’s for following: - Glastonbury - Reading and Leeds Festival - Isle of Wight festival - British Summer Time festival - Wireless festival Please & thanks.

I'd just like to hold this up as an example of inappropriate use of power & positonality. Quote tweeting people with experience of mental health services to shame the way they share their experiences of the service, in my view, is an inappropriate and potentially harmful action.

So important to read. What happened to Ayla was horrific and just highlights the issue of personality disorder misdiagnosis in autistic women, and more. The gaps and lack of access to specialist care close to home is an issue I’ve seen before for other Welsh families. Awful.

I think mental health notes are pointless and the massive amounts of unnecessary information collected makes patient care unsafe. If staff actually read them they get lost in years of other people's opinions, which are presented as fact, and facts which are often 1/
