For this working in mental health care have you seen AI (chatgpt etc) affecting people on the ground. Am seeing more cases of people with mental health issues using it and it causing damage. Saying that people are fine or that they are superhuman. Wonder where it will lead... #mentalhealth #Chatgpt

This is a excellent and worrying podcast. Wondered do OpenAI have any mental health nurses/psychiatrists/psychologists working for them and analysing their chats or logs. Seems like that would be very much needed #Chatgpt #openai #mentalhealth

Why are there so many fake quotes on the "other" platform now? Every story especially football will have a semi believable quote from someone that's completely fake. It's infuriating. World Cup will be carnage. #fakequotes #football #worldcup

Was at local University and was struck by stat that 80% of this doing mental health nursing are over 31. Does anyone know why young people don't want to become nurses? Specifically MH Nurses? #mentalhealth #NHS #studentnurse #RCN

This is an extraordinary episode of an amazing podcast. Could not stop listening. So timely to listen about Martin Luther King now. A decent (flawed of course) person. Who was met with absolute hatred from some of the worst people yes, but also from the public... Essential listening
