Great to see again my colleagues @davara_bennett and @sarahledden from the @NIHRSPHR at the #NIHRTrainingCamp. It has been not only an inspirational and stimulating experience, but also we had time to have fun! Thanks to @NIHRSPHR and @NIHRcommunity for making it happen!

❗️❗️UCL STUDENTS❗️❗️If you are 18+, currently experiencing low mood and/or anxiety, and are open to trying a new way of managing these feelings, my MSc research project is looking to recruit participants to a randomised controlled trial of a self-care smartphone app intervention

Please RT - participants needed for survey! Are you a professional working with and/or supporting people with severe #dementia? Does #technology have a role in monitoring #awareness in #carehome residents w/ severe dementia? We'd like to hear from you. Please DM me if interested

I wrote a blog on our @MentalHealthPRU event discussing research on how the pandemic has affected mental health care and services, and the priorities for future research. Have a read and let us know what you think should be researched! ucl.ac.uk/psychiatry/cov…

@zortea_tiago APMS is England only however, and rates might differ across Eng, Wales, Scotland & NI, I guess, so the COVID-19 MH surveys might be more useful for UK-wide stats; but there's also more likely a sample bias in who's participated and stayed involved in this than APMS.

@zortea_tiago I've used the APMS before and think it's a good estimate for gen pop- especially as weighted characteristics are taken into account so seems to somewhat buffer for response bias. Aware the latest stats are from 2014 but I think I heard a 2021 collection was due to happen.

Happy #NationalComingOutDay I came out 5 years ago to my family - it was the best decision I’ve ever made. The relationship I have with them changed for the better as I opened up about something that was so hidden and it normalised a really important part of my life for me. 🏳️‍🌈

My favourite part of working from home is working not from home

The @rcpsych has created a webpage to support #psychiatrists during the difficult time after a patient has died by #suicide rcpsych.ac.uk/members/suppor…

@docgolnar @matthewrbroome @MattBurkeMD @Domaubreyjones @Mental_Elf The Health Gap or the Status Syndrome could be a good one. An excellent overview of how social inequalities affect health, and useful for understanding how 'lifestyle/health behaviour changes' aren't as black and white as 'do or don't' but can also be influenced by social factors

@matthewrbroome @MattBurkeMD @Domaubreyjones @sarahledden @Mental_Elf what books should be in the #lifestylemedicine curriculum for all Med students?

Inspired by tweets this morning #lifestylemedicine being an integral part of medical training.What books do we think should be on curriculum for all #medicalstudents in #2020? This is one of my current favourites + was recommended by pt affected bipolar disorder @nutrition_facts

We're very pleased to announce two new 5K bursaries to improve access to our MSc programme - one for people from under-represented BAME groups and one for people with experience of using mental health services. Thanks for any help spreading word! ucl.ac.uk/psychiatry/stu…
