🚨 EXCLUSIVE: English hospitals that cut registered nurses saw more deaths while those hiring nurses saw more patients survive. Even when hospitals tried to fill gaps with non-nurses, deaths still went up. Major new study exposes dangerous NHS variation: www.thetimes.com/article/7eed...

“Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together.”Brené Brown Sending care and compassion to anyone finding this season a little more tender in ways that aren’t always visible. 🧡 #kindness #compassion #christmas #care Picture by @nikkimiles_

A colourful illustrated graphic on a black background with hand drawn text reading “Sending love to anyone who is” at the top. Around the words are playful drawings in bright colours: a Christmas stocking, a white dove, a decorated Christmas tree, mittens, a shooting star, and a festive wreath. Each illustration is paired with text naming different struggles: “healing from a breakup,” “grieving lost loved ones,” “finding Christmas difficult,” “feeling lonely,” “fighting an illness,” and “struggling mentally.” The overall tone is warm, caring, and supportive, acknowledging that Christmas can be hard for many people.

Ouch! If one in five studies in a field appears fishy, we can’t trust systematic reviews 🫣 I fear the fields I work in may have a similar proportion of rubbishy papers 😱

1/Great to be on Bluesky- to get started here’s a mega thread on what I know about #FND and how to have the best chance of beating it. It's just my personal view- so not set in stone - I hope people will find it helpful.

How pain is misunderstood and ignored in women

Sex hormones seem to have profound effects, but research mostly avoids the question of sex.

#NHSTalkingTherapies, the flagship psychotherapy service offered by the NHS, was heralded as a game changer when it launched in 2008. 16 years on, I’ve done some data digging to inspect its inner workings. @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social @healthfoundation.bsky.social 1/7 🧵
