“…if you decide your patient needs hospitalisation for their safety, the decision is passed on to another team. Admission is often refused by the hospital’s “bed bureau”.” - a fleeting glance to AMHP’s? What is it we do again? 🤔
Powerful article. What has happened to UK Psychiatry and what should/can the RCPsych do about it? newstatesman.com/politics/healt…
Anatomy of Moncrieff's Anti-Medication Playbook @joannamoncrieff has a carefully honed 3-step strategy of attacking psychiatry, which she has used with remarkable power against the medical establishment. Step 1: Identify a narrow, technical assertion pertaining to the neurobiology or medical treatment of mental health problems, and show that the evidence supporting that assertion is not as strong or high quality as commonly believed. Step 2: Use the uncertainty of evidence to make the claim, or imply, or pretend that the assertion has been shown to be false. [This step is a logically invalid inference since weak evidence in favor of thesis A does not equal strong evidence in favor of inverse A.] Step 3: Use the claim as a stepping stone to bash medical psychiatry by making claims that extend far beyond the scope of the narrow, technical assertion in step 1. Rely on rhetoric, ignorance of the audience, and prevalent prejudices to pull this off, and make strategic motte-and-bailey retreats when needed. This 3-step attack is bolstered by 2 ancillary moves: a) Make isolated demands for rigor, and set the required bar of evidence to a level that favors one’s own position, while simultaneously lowering the bar or shifting the burden of proof when it suits your favored positions. b) Pretend your personal opinion carries the same epistemic weight as the clinical consensus of the medical community. See details of how this play out in my post: psychiatrymargins.com/p/anatomy-of-m…
This wildly misleading tweet, and the mostly hateful replies, is like entering an alternate version of reality. If anybody is interested in the truth behind this claim, and what that Swedish poll actually asked, I'll go through it. Probably banging my head against a wall. 😂
RCPR was rolled out without any evaluation (not my view, stated by the Chief Constable of Humberside in Parliament, 2023). The Department of Health therefore commissioned some, by @TheKingsFund no less and here it is.
Today we've launched a report with @UniOfYork, @YorkStJohn on ‘Right Care, Right Person’, aimed at reducing avoidable police involvement in incidents where there is a mental health need. It explores health & care staff views on its implementation. york.ac.uk/media/healthsc…
NEW BLOG - "PNC Markers" So what might happen if a police force declines to become involved in a Mental Health Act patient gone AWOL? Well, an AMHP spent an interesting morning finding out a couple of months ago ... mentalhealthcop.wordpress.com/2024/11/27/pnc…
NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @TimothyDSnyder. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing. The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
NEW BLOG - "Refereeing Section Five" How many police officers can we expect to know about s5(6) MHA if acute hospital staff and a mental health team aren't aware of it? mentalhealthcop.wordpress.com/2024/10/30/ref…
This is simple Rik’s!

@darrengrimes Is it that since the invention of the smart phones, people started carrying and using smart phones, or do you mean something else here? 🤔 #dogwhistle
Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.

Another brilliant blog by a great #AMHPResearch colleague here ...
@nickperryamhp showcases how ideas on s13(1) and solution-focused approaches can create the platform for highly creative, person-centred and less-restrictive AMHP practice. Also shows that s136s do not always need a ‘barrage of three’. Great read. the-critical-amhp.com/blog/s13-consi…
This is such important research and something that’d largely go unreported if it wasn’t for disabled media, such as Access All. It’s a double stigma: non-disabled authorities think it’s entirely normal to treat disabled people this way - and many non-disabled journalists do too.
Imagine being 40 and being sent to bed at 5pm - or being 50 or 60 and not allowed in your kitchen in the evening to get yourself a drink That's the reality for many middle aged learning-disabled people as researchers from Manchester Metropolitan University discovered
