Incidents that affect the people caring and the people in care directly vs the staffing employed to manage these incidents... #mhdeservesbetter

Latest drawing commission- £0 fee (technically have lost money as need to give the client ‘pocket money’) My daughter: “I want a drawing of a goose wearing a beanie and a denim jacket with a badge of a frog with a mushroom on its head….”

Important research, please consider participating and or sharing! 👇

@JohnBaker_Leeds Thanks John!

@SamuelWoodnutt Great paper, nice to see this detailed analysis…

New paper looking at the mental health nursing workforce and incident reporting: 👇👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jp…

@NursingEmma Thanks Emma! I keep beating that drum! It also makes analysing health data really hard…because it adds more noise- better to have missed 1:1 time etc recorded

@SamuelWoodnutt Thanks for sharing Sam, very interesting paper- particularly how we focus on the reporting of patient behaviours as the incident rather than the possible failure in care which led to it. Lots to think about

A final plea: if you are an RN/RMHN working in Mental Health - please tell us about your work life and views. We want to be able to tell employers & policy makers how things are, and what needs to change to make work lives better in this important sector. Closes on 28 Jan. 🙏

Super interesting paper by @SamuelWoodnutt, which corresponds with our research into patient safety in mental healthcare "Mental health incident reporting focuses on the frequency of patients’ aggression or self-harm, but not on whether the care provided was appropriate."

The focus of adverse incident reporting in mental health should be on deficits in care rather than the frequency of patient-related factors, such as aggression, argues @SamuelWoodnutt journals.rcni.com/mental-health-…

Safer staffing in mental health nursing is not just about numbers…

I’m assuming that few will know that this week is also OCD awareness week?💙 One of the most unspoken mental illness’ yet recognised by WHO as one of the most debilitating illnesses of any kind Read up and understand it more. It is so much more than the stereotypes it holds❤️

Pleased to say that I was elected to the @BIG_SPD executive committee at the recent elections. Hoping that I can make myself useful. I'm at the tail end of my PhD into crisis for people diagnosed with 'borderline personality disorder', and I see a lot that needs to change.
