"He Died Waiting: Learning the lessons - a bereaved mother's view of mental health services" Book launch 11th Feb 5pm: virtualopenday.essex.ac.uk/areas-of-inter… Without working through past & current failings on a systemic & individual level, how is improving quality of care a possibility?

The RUMS Review, UCL medical school's student magazine, have just released the Neuroscience Edition. We have written a blog post, picking out some articles related to psychiatry, but the whole magazine is well worth a read! uclpsych.wordpress.com/2021/01/21/rum…

New blog post now live! Please give it a read and let us know what you would like to see us post about next. We would love to hear your suggestions! uclpsych.wordpress.com/2020/11/11/psy…

We are pleased to announce our new blog - Brainstorm (uclpsych.wordpress.com)! We will be posting over the next few months so do have a read and keep a look out for updates. If you would like to write for the blog, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Pressing call from @lovebillybragg of @MHtimeforAction to include those with #eatingdisorders in vulnerable #COVID19 group: - weakened immune system - heightened levels of #anxiety in current pandemic - primary carers to be released from work @rcpsych @rcpsychEDFac

Had an amazing time, met some wonderful people and learnt a lot about a great speciality on this scheme. When I applied I never thought I'd get a place as my interest in psychiatry was so new. If in doubt, definitely apply! #choosepsychiatry
