Practical Wisdom

@pulsetoday Not an easy read for those ADHD folk who rely in these meds. Equally I can't ignore how pharmacies and also medical culture promote meds as the only way forward. I have heard of countless examples when that was all that was offered. People need informed options for full choice

An LMC has advised GP practices that they can decline to enter shared care agreements with private ADHD prescribers, citing lack of capacity or clinical grounds. bit.ly/48qWlSL

@DrEmmaNash Gosh, that's terrible. Welcome to the nurses crew though! Thank you for all your do

@JaneLambertECG That's heart breaking. Can I help, even to listen? I have my own adopted little boy and whilst it's OK now it was quite the ride! Hugs

Sadly I’ve NEVER felt so unsupported by social services in help with my #adopted children as right now 😫😡#TotallyLetDown

Discrimination is illegal, but that doesn't stop it happening, but taking legal action can be daunting and confusing We teamed up with @Valla_UK to create this comprehensive guide on "what to do when you are experiencing discrimination at work" 💪 gendergp.com/transgender-ri…

They realized waiting times in some places can be over 3 months, and so they could do a RCT over a short follow up time and still get approved for the study- they could do this ethically. And what they found was stunning. 55% reduction in suicidality, and similar, depression.

For the first time, a randomized controlled trial has been published regarding gender affirming care. The treatment group receiving care saw a 55% reduction in suicidality, compared to 5% of control. I detail the results in my latest article. Subscribe to support my work.
