Yip. Don’t worry it’s all in the book.

It took 11 years of campaigning to get these standards after submitting a petition to the SG back in 2012! It’s been a very hard slog.

Sounds really interesting. Healthcare change is a very big mountain to climb to more of us pushing for it the better. I’m hugely passionate about this because of my personal experiences.

Current healthcare practice exacerbates mental health risk factors. There are many challenges with living with a LTC but so much more we could be doing to support wellbeing.

Yes! Psychologically informed care is vital to promote established protective factors and mitigate risk factors to prevent the development of medical trauma & difficulties. This is the whole premise of this book ❤️

Agree, it’s a big challenge but as someone who has lived with a heart condition from birth we need change. Status quo isn’t cost efficient either. This book is my attempt to provide a framework for how things could be. This might be of interest www.healthcareimprovementscotland.scot/publications...

ITV's drama #TheHack is a must-watch. A great series about the brilliant investigative journalist NickDavies' exposure of the phone hacking scandal. @sussexbylines.co.uk featured him in the first Defenders of Democracy series

Delighted to be invited back to where my psychology journey began nearly 30 years ago at Stirling University to present my work & new book to the Health Psychology Group. Thanks for the invite Dr Arran Reader.

Ps. Stunning campus, especially in autumn, but parking remains a bit of a nightmare.

‘The NHS is dying before our eyes’

I talk to the head of the BMA in Scotland. He tells me patients “are dying” unnecessarily because of delays; doctors feel no “pride” any more in the NHS & there’s a “toxic culture” of cover-up

So, for Scottish viewers of a certain vintage, very sad news: Glen Michael has passed away. He was 99. He began Glen Michael's Cartoon Cavalcade on STV in 1966, for a handsome £14 a week #RIP
