@elen_cook @rcpsych @aluzri1 @rcpsychINTL @subodhdave1 @DrLadeSmith Wonderful achievement and very well deserved!

The @rcpsych bestows it’s highest honour - Honorary Fellowship - on @aluzri1. It’s a privilege to work alongside such an inspiring psychiatrist with such a clear vision for global mental healthcare. @rcpsychINTL @subodhdave1 @DrLadeSmith

Age 6 to 13 abused mentally, physically and sexually. Age 16 locked up in a psychiatric hospital. Age 17 locked up in a young offenders prison. Age 19 sleeping on the streets injecting drugs in filthy alleyways. Now 46 with a life I couldn't imagine when at times I thought due to stigma I was just bad and at times didn't think I had long to live but due to the love and support of the #harmreduction community I am here. I campaign rigorously to say punishing people who use drugs is pointless & inhumane. The fact anyone would think criminalising is an answer to reduce harm and deaths is beyond incomprehensible. #SupportDontPunish, always 💜 Goodnight 💜

My first day as a consultant psychiatrist in London, Canada. I feel honoured, excited & yes a bit nervous! What an opportunity to serve society & provide care to people with mental health difficulties. There is no greater privilege. Thought I’d rock the floral! Wish me luck!

Congratulations to @Prof_TGSchulze for becoming President-Elect of the @WPA_Psychiatry. I am wishing him a fruitful term in continuing his magnificent work to strengthen the backbone of the WPA and guiding global mental health. I am looking forward to our future collaboration!

Morning 20 years ago today I was sectioned for the 1st time it was a horrible experience too detailed to put on a social media post. The publicity it received went Worldwide I was front page news for the wrong reason TV crews at my door, helicopter overhead. I'm told that from that day Mental health issues suddenly were not swept under the carpet, & hushed up. The only positive from that day for me is the awareness of Mental Health all over the UK. My main problem there is still lots of talk but far more actions need to be taken & our Government need to put their hand in their pockets & actually address Mental Health issues properly not just talk about it.

This open letter on NHS misogyny & sexual harassment from 4 of the most senior women in UK medicine is quite something. Please read the whole, grim thing. It is *so* important this is being said out loud. #MeToo rcplondon.ac.uk/guidelines-pol…

Rupert Murdoch's media empire has poisoned global democracy and spread disinformation on a mass scale. It's time to break up monopolies and build a truly free media — one that exposes the truth, challenges the powerful and amplifies local voices building a better world.

The treatment of Diane Abbott — Britain’s first female Black MP — is a disgrace. The latest stitch-up represents yet another flagrant attack on local democracy. A lifelong anti-racist campaigner, Diane deserves so much better. So do party members being treated with contempt.

As a Black woman, and someone on the left of the Labour Party, I have unfortunately been forced to reach the conclusion that I will not get a fair hearing from this Labour leadership.

@UberEats UberEats has just taken my son’s money, accepted the order, and then the driver cancelled and there is no replacement from UberEats. And the UberEats bot tells me they refuse to refund “because the restaurant has prepared the food”. But they will not deliver. Do not use UberEats.

Your Uber Eatscation has arrived !! ☀️⛱️🍹 uber.com/newsroom/2023-…

Burnout was a serious problem for healthcare workers before COVID-19, and was only worsened by the extraordinary strain the pandemic put on the system. We must ensure that physicians feel empowered to seek mental health care if they need it without fear of losing their license.
