Oh man. Sorry to hear this John. Carry the flame.

All I can can is I spent 1/2 my life high-functioning & working in disability rehab. Then when through a 4year hellish wirlwind I and no-one else can describe or comprehend .. and now I am somehow disabled and autistic.

With very clear and vivid memories and understanding how the system disabled me

I know it is no consolation to you. It is something few will understand - fighting for survival. Breath by Breath.

I am still alive. And whilst I am, and with every breath I can, I ask every NHS person I meet if they have had the training.

.. I'd like you to meet my Mum one day Paula.

I had another phone call this week from someone employed with the Royal Berkshire Hospital who was scared of going to work.

They worked up through IT into data security.

Their manager worked up through supervision into management.

I used the #ftsu whilstleblowing policy to call out a dysfunctional dept. including a manager shouting at suidical NHS staff.

Despite support from local charities and churches the Trust CEO refused to meet me and has since been promoted.

Can someone make the upside down make sense?

I stood up to a Deputy Head of Clinical Engineering in the Royal Berkshire Hospital for her aggressive behaviour towards staff who told me they felt suicidal. I will not name her. I will not aplogise. The Trust however have chosen to support her.

Autism from the Inside Part 8 — Inside a psychiatric hospital Getting into a psychiatric hospital is hard.

I experienced intense survivor guilt for months, after getting out of an NHS psychiatric hospital. It still haunts me years later, which is why I have posted this comment and tag @oliverscampaign.bsky.social.

I 'voluntarily' admitted myself. Then spent three months praying that someone would come and get me out.

The first few weeks I honestly deep down believed I was locked in for life.

If you are autistic or suspect you are stay the f away from mental health hospitals.

If there were a simple solution, it is this, and I write this with painful experience.

If you love someone, and they are in psychiatric hospital, go and get them out, and love them.

And keep loving them until whatever compelled their interaction with a mental heath hospital is a distant memory.

Concerns Raised in the Royal Berkshire Hospital NHS Trust Background

Then we entered lockdown.

I was called to return to my NHS career, but entered a warzone. I had to speak up.

Concerns Raised in the Royal Berkshire Hospital NHS Trust Background

Workplace bullying is far more problematic.

Did you talk about the serious patient safety concerns I raised using 'Freedom to Speak Up'? Or the toxic culture in that Trust that led to my suicide attempt? And the hundreds of others around Reading who were forced into extreme hardship?

How do you heal from healthcare-related cPTSD in the UK when the organisation you are being told to turn to is the one that caused cPTSD? This is not a rhetorical question.

One of my mentors was a man who alerted the then Ministry for Health about a rapid growth in physical abnormalities .. that led to the identification of the 'Thalidamide crisis'. Some of his work is in the @sciencemuseum.org.uk. He gave me his lecture slides .. handing a legacy.

Life After Death in the NHS -Surviving Suicide Trigger warning

Bullying within the NHS remains a serious concern.

I am still hearing from staff within the @royalberkshospital.bsky.social who are living in a state of fear of managers.

Disabled staff at Royal Berkshire Trust are being 'bullied' Disabled staff at the Royal Berkshire Trust are twice as likely to experience bullying, harassment or abuse from their manager as their non-disabled…

It's truy incredible to see Prince William alongside people who are actively in denial about abuse under their watch.

I feel alone in my belief that managers bullying suicidal staff in the NHS is wrong.

No-one in the @royalberkshospital.bsky.social Trust has acknowledged that very basic aspect of human morality.

Whilst bullying within NHS Trusts like the @royalberkshospital.bsky.social is known about and accepted as a feature of cultural toxicity.

It remains morally wrong. Morally corrupt.

Before she threatened me and bullied others out of an NHS Trust, an NHS Deputy Head of Clinical Engineering said to me

"I need to run the workshop like a battery farm!"

"We need to make the data look good for people higher up"

William says NHS staff should get 'enforced' break for mental health Prince William made the comment while visiting a wellbeing centre at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.

She told me she had an anger mangement problem.

Yet her anger destablised a Department, causing an NHS Trust to go into reputation management.

An NHS manager threatened me and others

She accused me of racism, after I called her out for bullying staff

Race was pure projection - her insecurity

I and 9 others simply didn't like being shouted at by an authoritarian manager with anger management problems

He said that whilst sitting next to someone from HR. I was trying to raise patient safety concerns and would not lie.

Lived Experience - Eamonn Sullivan, NHP Clinical Director I’ve always thought that we are all ‘consumers’ of healthcare, whether that be directly (i.e.

I found your article on lived experience very refreshing. Your sense of civic duty echoes my career with traumatised amputees. We both stepped up with NHS Nightingale. To me the NHS values epitomise what we are capable of when we all pull together.

Life After Death in the NHS -Surviving Suicide Trigger warning

2 years ago I attempted suicide as a result of bullying in the Royal Berkshire Hospital. After I was discharged from a psychiatric hospital I write to the CEO requesting a meeting, but instead was threatened with legal action.
