This quote by Jung is oft repeated and rightly so because it is so true: "The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of its parents." It’s really nicely explained by James Hollis here: A 🧵: 1/4

Interesting reflections below on mine & Keir Harding's article, the intention of which was to inspire debate around how the use of restrictive practices in inpatient units arise from dichotomous thinking. Our own article here: doi.org/10.1108/MHRJ-1… linkedin.com/posts/joehawar…

Another paper accepted and now in production. Looking forward to seeing this one in print. Should hopefully be a timely addition to the ongoing discourse around #MentalHealth nurse role and function. #MHDeservesBetter

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/

Does anyone know who has replaced Dr Emma Wadey Ph.D FQNI RN (MH) @ NHS England and/or Dr Stephen Jones, RN(MH) @ RCN MH Forum as mental nursing health leads - or has our voice been quietly eroded again?

How cool would it be to do a small study with a group of mh pts, where their notes were condensed into one document, (the rest made inaccessible to staff) & they received care as normal. Staff & pts could report their experiences before, during & after, to see if care changed.

On Bullshit Jobs: "Instead of simply working half the time, which we could've done, we seem to have collectively decided it would be a better idea to make up jobs that most of the people doing them feel are doing nothing at all."

I'm buzzing about turning 50 next month. Cannae believe I'll be 50, and I get to say I'm 50. I feel like I've achieved something, simply by being alive for that long. Feels like a game.

"Perhaps, we might suppose, we... have already learned to accept (though not necessarily to love) the status quo, akin to a neoliberal-induced, profession-wide Stockholm syndrome"... How do ideas of discipline and resistance in 1984 resonate with contemporary mental health care?

Off to Newcastle for my first RCN Research Forum! I’ll be presenting the paper below, drawing on how clinical academics can rapidly translate evidence into practice. If you are at the conference, join me tomorrow from 11:50-12:15 in Room 409. #RCNresearch24.

Many folk who contact professional mh crisis lines are hung up on. On #SuicidePreventionday let's get a committment from NHS crisis team staff not to hang up on patients. Nursing leadership must recognise this problem and proactively address it on national scale John Baker

For folk to reach out when suicidal, they need to know there will be a compassionate response. Hanging up on a suicidal patient is not compassionate. Nursing leadership must address the problem of crisis teams hanging up on patients. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #CrisisTeamFail

Whose story is it? Mine? Yours? My narrative has evolved over time as I realised the impact of dominant cultural narratives and reclaimed my authentic personal story #autoethnography #philisophicalautoethnography
