The start of a new era. Thank you ⁦@fionatwycross⁩ ⁦@DCMS⁩ ⁦@DHSCgovuk⁩ ⁦@NHSEngland⁩ Statutory levy and online slot stake limits to be introduced to tackle gambling harm - GOV.UK gov.uk/government/new…

A statutory levy is a step forward but there’s so much more work to do. Liz and Charles Ritchie were on BBC Breakfast earlier 👏

Overall we found placebo effect size in this patient group is large. We also identified some important moderators to consider when designing RCTs for gambling disorder. Given the large placebo effect size, we should also consider how to leverage this in the clinic.

Pleased to be able to share our meta-analysis exploring placebo and nocebo response in gambling disorder, out now in Acta Neuropsychiatrica. This is the first meta-analysis of placebo response in RCTs for gambling disorder. buff.ly/3V8dnk3

Placebo response varies substantially in size across mental disorders Correlates of ⬆️ placebo responses in multiple disorders includes later publication year (except ADHD), younger age, more trial sites, larger samples, increased baseline severity & active tx effect size 🧵👇

We’ve updated our patient information resource on long-acting injectable antipsychotics (also known as depot medication). This resource is for anyone who wants to know more about long-acting injectable antipsychotics and how they work. rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-health/…

Great session this week giving evidence to the Times Commission on Crime and Justice. Excellent questions from the commissioners led by @RSylvesterTimes. Spoke about gambling disorder and how it can lead to crime in people without any past history of illegal acts @thetimes

I had the honour to work with an expert by experience and the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Public Engagement Editorial Board (PEEB) to produce such a resource. I hope it will prove to be helpful for those who need it 2/2 rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-health/…

If you had to consider taking a long acting injectible antipsychotic or were involved in such decision for a loved one, you would know this is a tough one to make and would want simple and valid information to guide your decision making. 1/2

Off to examine OSCEs for final Year medical students in university of Southampton! Good luck to everyone 😉 @unisouthampton @UoS_Medicine

How can you deny emergency medical care by law for any person, especially for someone that vulnerable as a woman requiring medical care for abortion. Anyone from Idaho, please 🙏 explain this 😕
