Gr Manchester's capacity to provide mental healthcare was already poor, but has totally collapsed over the last yr

It's had to send 1000+ patients to 'out-of-area' units (mostly in Norfolk),with GM now accounting for 1/7 OAPs nationally

Excellent work team. Two silvers in busy areas is testament to strong nursing leadership on the ground, excellent patient care, and solid teamworking

Proud of you!🤩🤩

Highly recommend the website in here. I'm grateful for help in recognising dermatology problems in all patients and would agree that I need more help on blackandbrownskin.co.uk

Happens all the time. Probably a couple of hours weekly I could have done something productive with.

I push back to the FOI team and ask who is asking and what they want. No response.

I'd rather have a conversation than fill in a form.

Not to rubbish anyone's experience, but although my clinical shifts in ED MRI MFT and RMCH - Paediatric Emergency Department are challenging, there is still wonder, curiosity, educational satisfaction, and an occasional 'thank you'

A photo library showcasing medical conditions such as jaundice on darker skin tones is being launched to tackle the misdiagnosis of diseases on people of colour. Fantastic news! voice-online.co.uk/news/uk-news/2…

Great project!

Also as a reminder we have a website with about 200 pictures of various conditions across the body. blackandbrownskin.co.uk
