Too many 'systems' seem to now focus on the needs of the institution and staff around ever scarcer resources and patients and families' needs can be forgotten

This is disastrous, hideous news. NHS England are hacking back the mental health support for hospital staff. One doctor takes their life every three weeks. One nurse takes their life every single week. These numbers will now INCREASE. Victoria Atkins - please do the right thing.

Delighted to have the launch of the book at Royal College of Psychiatrists this afternoon. Thanks to OUP Medicine more so to Andrew Molodynski and Sarah Farrell for all the heavy lifting.We MUST look after the next generation and future workforce more so than ever to improve recruitment and retention #NHS

Delighted to have won in the specialist journalism category at the British Journalism Awards, and particularly to do so alongside my great friend and colleague Peter Blackburn

And thank you to Neil Hallows for the trust, time and freedom to cover the issues that matter to us.

Last night my brilliant pal Ben Jaxen Ireland and I won a British Journalism Award for investigations into the state of mental health services and the impact of austerity politics on communities. It hasn't quite sunk in. Thank you to everyone who trusts us to tell their stories.

david nicholson The private sector sucks resources out of the health economy, as profit & through staff training provided at no cost by the NHS. It is inefficient, poorly governed & poorly regulated. It is part of the problem, not part of the solution. The Labour Party Helen Killaspy🌈 Andrew Molodynski

Really honoured (and pretty scared) to be taking part in this alongside such giants as Simon Wessely Lade Smith CBE James MacCabe Helen Killaspy🌈
and others. Do come along and join in on one of the big questions in modern psychiatry!!!

I think we can change the lack of resources in the NHS- its a political and societal stance not an inevitability. We have in the past invested more and had more humane and responsive healthcare
