The clocks go back tonight — a timely reminder to think about vitamin D.
From October to March our bodies can’t make enough vitamin D from sunlight. To keep bones and muscles healthy it’s best to take a daily 10 microgram supplement of vitamin D.

Jonny Doughty died by suicide after a "gross absence of caregiving" by an NHS service reliant on poorly-skilled agency nurses and "routinely" short of acute psychiatric beds

🧵 on suicidal ideation and talking about it publically.
There is so much stigma around suicidal ideation and it is a real taboo subject to talk about. But why is this the case? Why is there such a distinction between talking about physical symotoms to mental health symptoms?

Another 🧵on the 111 mental health access lines.
Since the 111 m/h access lines have come into force, there has been widespread condemnation by the mental health community: they are simply not fit for purpose.

Very good overview of the Lampard Inquiry’s recent interim recommendations hearings on observations and the use of technology (particularly Oxevision- now LIO)
What does the evidence say about tech-based monitoring in mental health wards? Over the last year, the Lampard Inquiry has been scrutinising the evidence around the ethics, implementation, use, and harms caused by such a practice.
Following the conclusion of the Inquiry’s first set of hearings dedicated to potential interim recommendations, Associate Christina Ashibogu rounds up the critical evidence heard so far regarding the widespread use and potential misuse of the Oxevision technology at EPUT, highlighting urgent concerns around patient safety, consent models and clinical effectiveness.
Observations are a critical part of patient treatment, but they have to be done according to individual need and with patient safety and dignity at the forefront of care.
