AHP EVIdence and Best Practice - but appreciate I could have picked a better username!

I started a new account which is basically a place to gather evidence relating to AHPs and Healthcare - with some biases towards Mental Health, Community and Leadership (my own biases). Bit of an experiment, give it a follow if you like @ahpevibp.bsky.social

Alan Kurdi, dead on a beach

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Nothing quite as humbling for a brit as going on holiday and the pilot taking off and landing an aeroplane while simultaneously delivering messages in three different languages.

MGW looks like he's being held hostage in the video from Forest. Marinakis off to one side 😳

Late to the party here I'm sure, but generative AI and job application personal statements is horrible. Spotting the pattern is easy enough but then you just can't trust anything anyone's written. Reduces applications to qualifications and experience only which really misses an opportunity

🙏 Read this blog exploring our recent study about ethnicity and rapid tranquillisation use.

❤️ Thanks for going into this important tropic.

oh yeah, no doubt and the injuries have been very unlucky. But players are beginning to return and it's not looking much different. Solanke's injury didn't look good and if he's out again I really worry we just fizzle out very unspectacularly.

As always though, love it when they prove me wrong

It's 'not' ultra-attacking 🙄

They don't look like the high pressing, do or die, you can score some but we'll score more team anymore. They pass it around midfield, slow the game down, allow players time to get back. It's ultra-attacking, it's not great at defending what is it?

Also Solanke's reinjury looks like a huge blow

20 minutes into Toxic Town - not heard a Northamptonshire accent yet. I'm aware there were a lot of scots due to the steel industry - was not aware it was a full scale take over.

Why the BBC is spending a day in hospital at Royal Free London NHS trust From the morning, until late evening, the BBC will talk to staff, and watch patients from arrival to discharge at the Royal Free London

Add to the evidence pile of 'why don't the public understand more about community care' - it's easy to report on hospitals, it's easier to measure hospitals and the power in systems is generally concentrated in the acute sector. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Mike's moustache is splendid.

This is beautifully written piece I would encourage anyone working in mental health services to read.

Sorry to hear this Chris. NHS jobs has email alerts you can set up for jobs in an area with a certain salary or most trusts use www.healthjobsuk.com where you can do the same. If you decide to apply for something / get an interview I'm happy to talk more specifics give us a shout

A great thread that you should read all of, but if I could like a post more than once it would be this one.

I have that mug, it's my favourite mug. I can't believe you have done this.

Cheers for this article on an already depressing Monday Jack, unfortunately every word is true. While Levy has to take a lot of the blame, it's clear Ange can't actually manage this squad in these competitions. I worry he will rush someone back again to save his season and history will repeat itself

A graphic displaying 46 front book covers from the books I have read in 2024

My @thestorygraph.com reads from 2024 - I aimed to read 50 and got to 46 which is not bad. Starting off with some comfortable Sci-Fi I did diversify across the year. Most impactful were probably 'Flowers for Algernon' and 'Kim Jiyoung Born 1982'. Going into the new year re-reading LOTR #booksky

First book was great, I found the second book a struggle and am having the same experience with the TV series, but need to persevere really. Waiting until they're all out so I can binge them to the end

Think some clinicians would love a rank, a lot of people treat the band of their job like one!

Kemi can eat whatever she wants, but can we please stop lionising working through lunch?

We've all done it on occasion but it doesn't make you some productivity hero, and it's a terrible message to send to staff under you when you make it clear, as she does, that it's an expectation.

Product packaging for a Frida Baby Windi 'Gaspasser'.

A review from a website of the Frida 'Windi. Review is titled 'Troubling' and states 'This product didn't work. Also on the packaging it read 'tap that gas' which is an extremely inappropriate saying for a product for a baby'.

Just been made aware of this.... interesting.... product - and this review has me howling.
