When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

My fav thing about working at a uni specialising in healthcare is adding widely neglected topics e.g, Ablesim, Medical Trauma & Psychologically Informed Healthcare to DPsych framework.

Breaking news: U.S. sides with Russia to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Moscow for the Ukraine war. Washington’s dramatic shift on the conflict marks a major break with its European allies and coincides with the Trump administration’s bid to repair relations with the Kremlin.

The world's richest man - perhaps the richest man who has ever lived - gloating about shutting down aid for the world's poorest people. All while posing as the champion of the common man. The great lie of populism in its most naked and morally putrid form.

11-year-old chimney sweep George Brewster was forced up a flue measuring just 12x7.5 inches. His death, after becoming jammed inside, finally galavanised parliament to act. Never forget what cruelties would be inflicted by greed were it not for “red tape”. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Great to see the ongoing success of this online NHS support group, for people with congenital heart conditions, at Bristol Heart Institute based on our book. It was developed following the success of a similar (in person) group at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital Hospital in New York ❤️❤️‍🩹

8 major hospitals have declared critical incidents in the last 24hrs alone. Some of the 100s of patients stranded on trolleys, in corridors & in the back of ambulances will likely die there. This isn’t normal, inevitable or attributable to viruses alone. (1/2) www.thetimes.com/article/89c4...

How many other people’s childhood medical notes have been destroyed without their consent? This is not person centered care, it is far from psychologically or trauma informed practice & deeply disappointing the powers that be have not taken the opportunity to learn, address and improve practice.

Obstetricians needed to rely on my mum’s memory of me getting surgery in Yorkhill in the 80s to make decisions about whether my child needed monitoring for their own heart. Can only assume my records have too been deleted. Grateful for all Liza has done here to fight this.

Disappointing response from SPSO re destruction of my paediatric cardiology records, detailing six thorocotomies, OHS & countless cardiac procedures.

Nobody wants a student essay as a product; we want students to learn to compose their thoughts in written form as a process. I mean, would you have a machine run your laps or play your scales for you? In which case we would not say you had run or played.

Most emotion regulation research focuses on negative emotions. In focus groups, people said managing positive emotions (being able to cheer themselves up) was key to overcoming trauma. Now we've created a measure and have data backing up their insight. #edusky #psychscisky #academicsky
