Bigotry has no place in digital health & care. We must hold ourselves & others to account to stamp this out. Sign our open letter (as an individual or as an organisation)👇🏾calling for an industry-wide #EquityCharter #FrankHester. Pls RT and spread the word equitycharter.digital

In our final #Rewired24 keynote session @AyeshaRahimCCIO launches an equity charter following the @NetworkShuri & @digitalhealth2 joint statement yesterday. Please do sign the petition to be part of an open letter to stand up to discrimination in digital health. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Such a simple ask, very cheap to do, but what an impact this could have for the people who use our in-patient services! #DigitalMH24

@ahmedhankir Congratulations Dr Hankir! You're posts have always inspired. It's good to know you had a supportive experience with a MH professional that also inspired you.

When I was a medical student in Manchester I developed a devastating mental health condition triggered by the trauma of the Lebanon war, poverty, accommodation & food insecurity & being far removed from my loved ones. The symptoms were so severe I was forced to interrupt medical school. I was stigmatised & shunned & I lost all hope I’d ever recover & qualify. However, with specialist support from a Consultant psychiatrist I slowly got my life back on track, resumed medical school & graduated. I wanted to help patients with mental health conditions the same way the consultant psychiatrist helped me so I decided to specialise in psychiatry. Today is my first day as Consultant Psychiatrist. What an opportunity to serve society & to support the most vulnerable amongst us. I promise I’ll do everything I can to improve the lives of patients with mental health conditions. Special thanks to Prof @gedbyrne & @DrRZaman who saw me at my lowest all those years ago (way before I joined Twitter!) & who empowered me to recover & realise my potential.

For most of us at @WeAreLSCFT, this is the way we feel when get into work, because the Trust does more to support us. Why not visit our stand at the ongoing #RCPsychIC23 to hear more about us and how we can support your career and development. @LSCFTMedics @LSCFTMedEd @rcpsych

Great work by my #mentalhealth nurse colleague @stonier28 in signing up our first patient to the @FReSHSTART_UK study supporting those presenting with #selfharm to improve their quality of life. See freshstart.leeds.ac.uk for more info. #research @WeAreLSCFT @LSCFTResearch

@RobJimFleming No rail ale trail this time Rob?

Huge congratulations @DrYashwantShukl of @WeAreLSCFT on your recent HEE @NWSASDocs Lifetime Achievement Award. This is his 50th year of medical practice and in @NHSEngland for the last 45 years. During his (ongoing) career in our Bay Locality...1/2

If everyone who has ever been grateful for a doctor followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight. The more followers we have, the louder we can shout for all the NHS staff who are fighting against the Government right now.

On my way to cover the wards today so dug out my kit from when I did it last, back in a different century. Don’t suppose much has changed? Pay certainly hasn’t….. #JuniorDoctorsStrike

We are expecting health services to be under extreme pressure over the next few days due to industrial action ⚠️ Please do all you can to avoid health services unless it is completely necessary or life-threatening. For health advice, you can also visit NHS 111 online 💙

A lot of my non-medic friends (yes they do exist) have compared the possible strikes to the railway strikes. Just thought I’d leave this for you all to ponder over why an f1 holding a Crash call bleep, a Rapid response bleep and an on-call bleep gets paid £27,000 base a year..

Well deserved highly commended award for the fabulous @imy_chats at our Trust #TimeToShineAwards. He truly goes above and beyond++ in supporting our new workforce and making new international medical graduates feel welcome to the UK. Well done Imran 👏

@TeresaLean1 Teresa, you continue to make great contributions to improving quality & practice. Glad you came back to work with us :)

Tomorrow I enter the 2nd year of being a Consultant Nurse (ACP) what a year it’s been! Professional and personal growth,alongside self doubt, highs and lows. But the opportunities have been endless, and many doors opened. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey 🙏
