After organising the Pan-London Forensic teaching for several years, feels very strange to not be there! What a fantastic programme. I’m a little envious.

When I was a medical student I was taught about schizophrenia using the art of Bryan Charnley. Seeing Indecision in the new @bethlemmuseum.bsky.social exhibition was a delight. Art offers us so much in unpacking the human condition and this museum remains an excellent (free) space to explore!
