"In the end I gave up begging them to remove the handcuffs because I was so exhausted by the time I had to push my baby out.”

Loved every moment
We have published part two of the timeline of Oxford Health's installation of Oxevision. This part considers the origins of Oxevision, the initial Oxevision pilot study and the connections between Oxehealth and it's founder (Lionel Tarassenko) with the NIHR Oxford Health BRC
We raise concerns that the original Oxevision pilot study (funded by @nihr.bsky.social) was potentially conducted without requite ethical approvals despite it being high risk
The study is published in @bmj.com mental health and is published without details of ethics and the authors have failed to declare their conflict of interest. We are awaiting a response from the BMJ about this mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/23/1...
Untangling the threads: The installation of Oxevision by Oxford Health NHS Trust part two
Following on from the piece earlier in the week we are now sharing part two of our deep dive into Oxford Health’s seemingly irrational decision to install Oxevision

Zinemaking as a Trauma-Informed Creative Method
A short practical guide I made with Asylum Link Merseyside + University of Liverpool. Originally a fold-out poster zine, it shares principles for trauma-informed zinemaking + collage, plus further resources.

This is one of the most depressing, but important papers I've read in recent times. It's focus is Awaab Ishak, the 2 year old who died because of squalid housing, but brilliantly links this wider necropolitics enacted by neoliberalism. Please read.
