Finally, after some stress rearranging transport due to train strikes I can safely (fingers crossed!) say I am going to RCPsych Congress next week, I'm excited to be there in person for the first time! Now I just need to work on my rapid-fire presentation... eek!

Agree with every single points. Discharging a patient from inpatient care when they reach 85% of their ideal body weight (which is not uncommon) may not only put them at risk of immediate relapse psychologically, but may also put them at risk metabolically.

Until 5 years ago, when I was speaking to FY2s, They will tell me in excitement which speciality they will be working in soon. Now mostly, their response is, "I am taking a break, will do locums for a while" Not sure if health leaders are understanding impact of this.

Helpful paper. Probably similar in eating disorders. But nobody is talking about patients not wishing to recover, being addicted to their illness, or end of life treatment in schizophrenia. Why is this ok in eating disorders? Gaudiani Clinic Journal of Eating Disorders Royal College of Psychiatrists Beat F.E.A.S.T.

“Many of us know that taking paracetamol can be helpful for headaches and I don’t think anyone believes that headaches are caused by not enough paracetamol in the brain.”

Outrageous that 84 junior doctors at University Hospitals Sussex are STILL waiting for their full August pay, now over a week late. Doctors are desperate, can’t pay bills, and some are being bailed out by charities. Who will want to work here if they don’t get paid in full and on time?

JDC today voted to enter trade dispute on behalf of junior doctors in England with the Government over pay, recognising anger felt at years of damaging pay cuts, chronic staff shortages and persistent underfunding. A ballot for industrial action is planned for around January 9

I’m nervous to share this but my paper is out in @TheLancetPsych today! I’ve written about #eatingdisorders, “terminal anorexia” and withdrawing treatment alongside Agnes Ayton 💙 Lorna Collins Suzanne Baker & others. I am both proud & sad to write it. authors.elsevier.com/a/1gTeI_oNJN6X…

The MEED guidelines for #eatingdisorders are becoming more widely used, but so many still don’t know about these VERY helpful summary sheets below 👇🏽 We would also love to hear feedback about the MEED guidelines in your area. Please RT

I am really grateful to RCPsych Eating Disorders Faculty for receiving one of two annual research bursaries to support my work on the link between disordered eating and eating disorder diagnosis, supervised by Tamsin Newlove-Delgado and Dr Helen Bould! Thank you for organising such an inspirational conference!
