About me
Most of my career has been spent working in A&E as a doctor. I use my lived experience to improve care to patients with 'psychiatric histories' & try to contribute from the dual perspective of provider and patient. I am also an author, and have recently written 'Unshackled Mind'

Embedding Martha's Rule into practice—Lessons from the national pilot

I hope that when Martha's rule is in use, that the relatives & patients will not be 'blamed' if in fact the patient is found to NOT have deteriorated! To family it can be such a relief just to feel heard and get some communication from the patient's medical team - maybe more so in the adult side of things!- Posted

Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction: After 30 years, why is the health system still failing to recognise this life-limiting adverse effect?
Catw1 commented on Harriet Vogt's article in By researchers and academics
Well said Harriet. It is very important that patients are made aware of these potentially devastating side effects before they agree to take SSRIs.- Posted

Fragmented, confusing, with no clear focus. But what is missing to my eyes is the obvious - where is the body which looks at harm due to prescribed drugs? Prescribed drugs take a huge amount of the NHS budget, and are known to be the cause of illness and increased mortality. Yet, patients are still unable to draw attention to this beyond filling in a 'yellow card' and the action that results is minimal.- Posted
