Don't worry about getting us a birthday card to celebrate #NHS75... Instead, we'll be more than happy with you getting an organ donor card for registering to become a donor for the first time. 💗 Confirm your organ donation decision today ➡️ orlo.uk/pYoKM
A graphic shows big blue text reading: 'Go on, get a card. It is our birthday.' Next to this is a pink organ donor card. Smaller blue text reads: 'Search 'Organ Donation' online or via the NHS App.' The NHS75 logo is in the top right corner.

Evidence to suggest >1/3 of a student population experience similar visual hallucinations to people with psychosis but typically attribute them to non-worrying phenomena such as tiredness or the mind playing tricks on them, and are less distressed. This is helpful to tell people!

Apparently @elonmusk is going to be removing all inactive Twitter accounts. This presumably means my late Mum’s page @SallyBeckwithOT will disappear unless.. something? What can I do? Grateful for your help. Her Twitter space was used so meaningfully and holds much memory for me.

⭐New research!⭐ We're looking for 16-25 yr olds to complete an online survey. Your answers will help us better understand #dissociation & #depersonalisation, but you don't need experience of them to take part. More info: bhampsychology.eu.qualtrics.…

It will take about 30 minutes to complete, you have the right to withdraw at any stage. You can receive RPS credits for your course (University of Birmingham students) and will be able to enter into a £50 voucher draw.
