Thank you for the invitation!

Super work, John.

Week three of post-employment for me, as one of the 10,000+. From my new vantage point this analysis looks about right. Thanks for all your work on this, Glen.

🚨🚨

We have an exciting new opportunity to join a new one year project on developing a CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) single session intervention for children and young people.

It’s frustratingly predictable that comments like this about degree-level nursing preparation would appear: we’re still the only professional group for which some people believe education is a bad thing.

Cardiff Nursing Undergraduate and postgraduate nursing education in Cardiff commenced in 1972, located within what was then the Welsh National School of Medicine. More than half a century later, the ambition which…

Following this up, here’s a piece I’ve written:

Wales deserves a strong capital university, one that trains its nurses; embraces the study of Religion and Theology and of Ancient History; teaches numerous languages, including music; one that does not reduce the Arts and Humanities to an irrelevance.

That's okay, South Wales doesn't really need two absolutely massive universities! Its economy is so strong that it can cope as they shrink and retreat! Wealth flows through the streets like gold doesn't it! It hasn't tried to anchor its economy in new creative jobs has it! 🙄😡

Petition: Enable Cardiff University to keep the Nursing degree course Cardiff University’s intention to cut the nursing degree programme is a huge loss to the future of nursing and the NHS. The loss in staff will have a significant impact on current students' studies. I...

Here’s a @senedd.wales petition on keeping a nursing programme at Cardiff: petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/24...

Thank you, Rhonda.

Thanks for the link, Steven. This wouldn’t be the first time a RG university has withdrawn from nursing. Will be watching…

Thank you, Emily.

Thank you, Beth.

It is, John. We’re also organising in response.

I work with such talented and committed nursing academics in Cardiff University. Excellent teaching, outstanding research: all in a School with a history of doing this for more than half a century. All now at risk, with letters informing us of possible redundancy landing yesterday. Very poor.

Huge congratulations to @clarebennett.bsky.social this evening!

Lovely to see you here, Alan 😊

So, today I joined the COMPASS (Cardiff Mental Health Society and Services Research Group) meeting where Gavin John talked about his doctoral study into young people’s connections to family, friends and education during periods of inpatient care.

Autumn lunch in Heath Park, Cardiff. Very nice, after a morning of teaching.

It most certainly is!

Sounds interesting for sure! We have a first paper from CAMH-Crisis2 under review: hope to be able to share more soon.

First attempt to re-create the mental health nursing academic community, please share and join go.bsky.app/B1Y3Jyh

Hi @markrubin.bsky.social Thanks+ for explaining how to make a Bluesky feed.

"Let's summarise the evidence in short and simple blogs, so everyone finds them easy to read and understand" giggled the elves as they blogged & *skeeted* 🤓

Hi, good to meet!

I’m detecting lots of additional activity on Bluesky in the last few days: lovely to be reconnecting with people here!

Post introduces a recent research paper. It focuses on patient safety problems in community-based mental health services

New here, so am sharing some recent work from my @thisinstitute.bsky.social PhD, in hope of finding more #patientsafety people here!

We wanted to understand what ‘safe care’ looks like in community mental health services, as existing safety improvement research mostly relates to inpatient care

@nihr.bsky.social CAMH-Crisis2 whole-team meeting this morning. Lots to discuss: submission of first paper for peer review, progress on interviews, future dissemination plans.
