dcc-i.co.uk/stopsim-allies… The BASW England Mental Health thematic group is pleased to be a signatory to the letter.

To mark the start of Children's Mental Health week-an article to shine a light on MHA's...it's just the tip of the iceberg but we have to start raising awareness! ⁦@BASW_UK⁩ basw.co.uk/resources/psw-…

@AlexBThomson @asifamhp @KirstyChallen @444blackcat @bikelawman @irishdmb @EmergMedDr @CCWearmouth @MentalHealthCop @RCollEM Very much. But also please advise caution re ‘common law doctrine of necessity’, it’s not a get out of jail free card.

@MhBasw @asifamhp @KirstyChallen @444blackcat @bikelawman @irishdmb @EmergMedDr @CCWearmouth @MentalHealthCop @RCollEM I realise that the other thing missing from this flow chart is that you need liaison psychiatry in the ED right away to advise and collaborate. This is a specialist area, and emergency treatment or negotiation may reduce refusal. EM staff should not be handling this alone

A reminder that RCEM have a very helpful guide about use of the Mental Capacity Act in Emergency Departments rcem.ac.uk/docs/RCEM%20Gu…

@asifamhp @AlexBThomson @KirstyChallen @444blackcat @bikelawman @irishdmb @EmergMedDr @CCWearmouth @MentalHealthCop @RCollEM And we’re always happy to help.

@AlexBThomson @KirstyChallen @444blackcat @bikelawman @irishdmb @EmergMedDr @CCWearmouth @MentalHealthCop @RCollEM We @MhBasw do do this stuff 👍

@andrewfgordon Good suggestion, perhaps what we need to look at is all mental health social workers not employed by local authorities?

Reviewing the work-plan of the group today, would there be an appetite for a support / engagement network for social workers employed by NHS mental health trusts? Let us know.

thinking of social workers in the build up to bank holidays with all the pressures of winter and the pandemic, we are lucky to have you looking out for people, and we need to look out for you, thank you for all you do #SocialWork

I am researching the experiences and needs of adults who support or care for an adult family member or friend they think may be at risk of suicide. The survey is open until 1st November. brookeshls.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2a…
