Really pleased to be a prize winner from yesterday's @KeeleMedSchool medical education conference. Shared the work we at @CombinedNHS have done with local police forces and cadets to provide CAMHS education and de-escalation skills training.

@JessicaLDNurse Exciting. Well done

Another door opens.. #ChooseLDNursing #LifeLongLearning #ExcitingTimes #back2uniagain #EvidenceBasedPractice

Great first session this week for @CombinedNHS Nursing and Healthcare Professionals CPD. We covered schizophrenia, brain pathways, antipsychotics, and then Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome and Serotonin Syndrome. Next session 11th March. #Nursing #CPD

Great time this morning at Fenton Manor Sports Complex for the Lego event. Some amazing pieces on display but seeing Baby Groot riding a vesper was a standout moment #LEGO

@JessicaLDNurse @CombinedNHS No problem. Next time we're going to focus on autism, potentially medication to support difficulties associated with it and safe prescribing

@drmfoster @CombinedNHS Sorry I couldn't join you! Looking forward to next time

Another fun night, with Dr Bethan Brace, providing ADHD and medication monitoring education for our @CombinedNHS Trust's NMP trainees.

Great night, with @VicHawcroft, at Ormistan Meridian Academy teaching our local police cadets about mental health conditions, communication skills and de-escalation techniques for common emergencies. Receptive and engaging audience. @CombinedNHS

@jwhitehurstdr Excellent to hear

My first (and hopefully not last) piece of research has been typed up... now time to wait for marking ⏳ Excited to soon share my findings about how we can better teach medical students about the incredibly important topic of eating disorders #MedicalEducation

@1sian2 @CombinedNHS Thanks for the great feedback!!

@drmfoster @CombinedNHS It was a really informative session - really valuable learning - thank you to you both - looking forward to more sessions hopefully 😊

Fun evening tonight, with Dr Bethan Brace, providing antidepressant and antipsychotic uses, mechanism of action, side effects and how to perform a gastro examination education for our Trust's @CombinedNHS NMP trainees.

The Dragons @CombinedNHS all said yes! I couldn't be happier! Can't wait to see the difference this will make to our local families. Happy LD Awareness Week everyone!

@JessicaLDNurse @CombinedNHS @Darwin_Centre Thank you :)

@drmfoster @CombinedNHS @Darwin_Centre That's brilliant! Congratulations 🎊

Exciting news! My abstract has been accepted as a poster @ the #rcpsych International Congress 2024 & will be published in the BJPsych Open too. Enjoyed meeting all the police, pcso, and cadets over the last few months. Hope we can do more sessions @CombinedNHS @Darwin_Centre

Happy to stand next to my poster at the 2024 #RCPsychIC showing our (& Dr Nadir) work with local police in providing bespoke #camhs education, de-escalation and communication skills. @Darwin_Centre @CombinedNHS

@roryconn I really hope this continues across the country

Building momentum as a movement. theguardian.com/technology/art…

And we have an emotional support dog working at the Darwin Centre too!

@TracyBullock12 @ajpigott_anna @UHNM_NHS Amazing!

Fabulous achievement ⁦@UHNM_NHS⁩ for one of our patients. 👇 bbc.com/news/articles/…

@doctor_jef Service user feels far more transactional in nature. Client suggests choice. I prefer patient as it is associated with caring too which is a major reason for going into the health CARE profession.

I’m not suggesting one is right or wrong, but when did our patients become clients? Why have we felt the need to switch to this new terminology?

@ileolusi @CombinedNHS @Darwin_Centre @kennylaingnurse @dennisokolo Thanks!

@drmfoster @CombinedNHS @Darwin_Centre Fabulous, @kennylaingnurse @dennisokolo
