Just published: In this editorial, I suggest that things go wrong in MH #crisisteams when staff members are not given the space or time to reflect on anxieties arising from the work. And that we should reclaim supervision as a safe space to do this. 👀 Read for free here: doi.org/10.1111/jpm....

My latest article critiques the use of standardised checklists in nurse education to assess competence in practice. I suggest that esp. in the UK, they promote a form of goalodicy; 'proficiency-chasing' over those more meaningful learning opportunities better aligned to MHNursing. t.co/m3GhklCRDu
Participants needed for my research study!! I'd love to hear from those who have recently received treatment from a CRHT team. Looking specifically for people who experience challenges commonly associated with the diagnosis of 'Personality Disorder' (although diagnosis not necessary!)
According to an email from Wiley our qualitative evidence synthesis has received over 2,000 views (it's now actually going up for 3,000) since publication. Thank you to all who have engaged with our work which can be read for free here: doi.org/10.1111/jpm.... #ViewsMilestone
