Received three highly supportive anonymous reviews for a book proposal today. Feeling a little overwhelmed by the positive comments from peers. I'm sure some, if not all three of you, are on here, so just posting to say thanks very much, completely made my day.

Quick plug for an event I'm speaking at tomorrow on forensic nursing. I'm specifically talking about past work on the introduction of FNEs into sexual offence interventions, but I'm sure I'll also comment on police custody. @kentishscribbler.bsky.social www.rcn.org.uk/news-and-eve...

The brilliant @ctmccartney.bsky.social speaking about prosecutions failing due to missing evidence. Interesting that NPCC suggests inability to get medical experts is the reason. Definitely something for me to reflect on in my forthcoming fellowship. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This has jumped to the top of my "To Read" pile. Saw a great presentation on this at the @fflm.bsky.social conference last year. Definitely a space where the construction of forensic medicine is a little too close to the criminal justice pole.

RCPsych, joined by leading health and social care organisations, is calling on MPs and the UK Government to reject plans to extend police powers - to detain and restrain people in crisis - to medical practitioners, under reforms of the Mental Health Bill in England and Wales.

@deecooke.bsky.social and I ran the Edinburgh Marathon Fest Half Marathon this morning. Didn't get the ambitious PB I'd hoped but still a PB (1:45:46). Have another half lined up in July where I'll try and dip under that 1:45 mark.

Excellent piece from @dralexispaton.bsky.social on both the moral and ethical problems with chemical castration (not to mention the fact that approaches like this fail to understand the underlying causes of GBV!!!).

Incredibly proud of this new podcast with @robbiejourno.bsky.social and the Big Light. Young people are demonised on the street but what happens if we look through the stereotype and listen instead?

Brilliant project that I am loosely associated with, exploring the impacts on people's health of being engaged with criminal justice. Well worth keeping an eye on.

Created a podcast with Lesley McMillan, Andrea Quinlan and @jazzmoose.bsky.social on our project investigating forensic and support service responses to GBV in rural and remote areas. Found lack of anonymity and resourcing crucial to poor outcomes for survivors podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s...

Canny run in Sunderland with the Town Moor Bench Runners for the Sunderland 10k. Goal race is the Edinburgh Half Marathon in a fortnight so this was just a tune up race. Still only a minute off my 10k PB, which means I'm in good form for two weeks time. strava.app.link/5TlvqzzzhTb

How's that pandering to racists and reactionaries to defeat the far right working out for you? How many times do we have to warn about the damage this does to those at the sharp end, any sort of opposition, and democracy itself. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Which effectively means he is not at all concerned about tens of thousands of people losing their jobs, from cleaners to administrators, students and local businesses! And that he doesn’t care about the cities where universities are major employers and contribute so much to civic life.

Working with @northumbriauni.bsky.social and Durham University our researchers have found that people in police custody with health issues are regularly put at risk because medication is delayed or unavailable due to a lack of medical staff on site. #WeAreNCL

Our latest animation—created with @gethrees.bsky.social and the team at Newcastle University—brings to life research from the ESRC-funded project, What is ‘Equivalence’ in Custody Healthcare? Great to see the media interest the report is attracting.
