Today we can confirm that Equal Pay Day 2024 will fall on 20th November. That's earlier than last year. This means that the UK's mean Gender Pay Gap has sadly widened for the first time since 2013 fawcettsociety.org.uk/news/equal-pay…

@Liz_ORiordan This is super. Thank you. And (with much love and respect) we would encourage the non-use of ableist terms such as "crippled" in future. Just something to be mindful of.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This caption contains references to self-harm. These photos were taken just hours apart. Mental illness can be invisible. When my friends thought I was at my happiest, I was often on the brink of despair, crippled with depression from my twenties. I’ve been suicidal twice - both times as a consultant surgeon Lonely, overwhelmed and scared to admit what I was feeling. I hid it from friends, colleagues and HR for twenty years. I was embarrassed and ashamed that I didn't want to live. I talked about my mental health for the first time in my memoir 'Under The Knife' because I no longer worked as a doctor and I didn't need to worry about what my patients might say if they found out. stayingsafe.net helped me create a safety plan and got me through the crisis points until I could get proper help. As a breast cancer patient I found myself overwhelmed with gut-wrenching anxiety, scanxiety, fear of recurrence, survivor's guilt. Why had no-one told me this was part of the collateral damage? If this is you, ask your breast care nurse if your local cancer centre provides free counselling. I've had it twice and it saved my life. Talk to your GP. I take proudly Citalopram to keep my brain more or less on the straight and narrow I am no longer ashamed of having a mental illness. I now know that it is not my fault. Mental health awareness is not just a wave of quotes. Mental health awareness is brutal and not-so-easy on the eye. World Mental Health Day 2024 is for yesterday, today, and every day to come. ❤️ You matter. Someone cares Call the Samaritans 24hour helpline 116 123 @AlysColeKing #WorldMentalHealthDay2024

@franhaddock_ I’m just getting my book on chronic illness and disability to the typesetter so it’s on my mind. (I did not recover and provide absolutely no medical advice. But there are jokes and angry stats.)

Miranda Hart’s new memoir on chronic illness seems very well intentioned but this pseudoscience is worrying. If you’re writing a book after you’ve recovered, there’s a particular responsibility to be accurate to readers who are desperate to recover too.

Beyond seeing people with disabilities as individuals, it's about seeing them as citizens. Equal citizens with equal rights to the protections and resources the state provides in a time of crisis. Full stop. #EverydayCitizenship @simonjduffy

Today’s DCC statement shows that people with a disability, including learning disability, were not listened to throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to harmful policies neglecting their needs and seeing their health and wellbeing badly affected.
