For anyone reading the headlines about HRT and dementia this morning, please watch this.   The study referenced is an observational study so does not prove cause and effect. Also, it’s mainly looking at women who are taking older types of HRT which are very different to the types of HRT we prescribe now. Other studies have shown that people who take body identical HRT have a lower risk of dementia.   What it does show is that we urgently need to do more research in this area.

📣 Call for participants 📣 Please share with your #mentalhealth #studentnurse and #nurseeducation networks 👇 and consider participating! tinyurl.com/37798a3e

I once wrote a chapter in a book called Sifting out the sweetness”. It’s something a new parent I was caring for on a postnatal ward said to me when I asked them how they coped with conflicting advice. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@gearoidbrennan @SAGEHealthInfo @nmcnews I highlight this in every book review I do for publishers but it never changes... Ive ensured that I put a four countries perspective in an upcoming book chapter I've written, particularly when discussing MH laws and capacity but I know it's sadly not the norm!

Hey @SAGEHealthInfo Love your books but disappointing to see yet ANOTHER nursing textbook aimed at UK audience & mapped to @nmcnews standards only discuss English context & law. Not even a mention that law is different in constituent countries. England ≠ UK #PublicationBias
