Talking About The Traitors: What can watching tell us about group think/game theory/prisoners dilemma/group decision making? Buckle up, this is a long one, but I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Many moons ago, I did an A-level in psychology. I enjoyed it so much that I even took some m…

The Traitors is back on our screens for exciting episodes, of what Mr Girlymicro refers to as 'Confirmation Bias Castle',

I thought I would share a blog I wrote discussing what the series can tell us about the benefits and pitfalls of group decision making

Last night I had the privilege to hear Justice Ketanji Brown Johnson in dialogue with Afua Hirsh

Perseverance
Positivity
Progress

These are words that remained central as "The Lovely One" described her journey from Harvard, to becoming the first Black Woman to a US Supreme Court Justice

If you take one thing from World Suicide Prevention Day today it should be this: if you think someone isn’t OK, ask them about it. You can interrupt someone’s suicidal thoughts. You could even save their life.

Let’s prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow’s too late.

🚨 Senior NHS managers are to be regulated by the @hcpc.bsky.social with a barring list to prevent those guilty of misconduct from working again in the NHS. @wesstreeting says this "will slam the door in the face of unsuitable managers"

It's South Asian Heritage Month

The theme for 2025 is #RootsToRoutes

We stand on the shoulders of giants and honour those who came before us because they are the reason we are able to look out and see all the possibilities now open to us

Calculating the Damage of Vaccine Skepticism It’s clear that we’re on the precipice of a surge in preventable diseases. But how bad will it get?

β€œEven now, one in eight children under the age of five in Nigeria dies from vaccine-preventable diseases, but it used to be considerably worse.”

Why cultural competence matters in Mental Health First Aid | Royal Pharmaceutical Society | RPS

Blog on #MentalHealth First Aid, for the RPS

βœ… It starts with youβ€” willingness to reflect, to learn, and to create safe spaces
βœ… Cultural competence means being curious, not cautious
βœ… It means asking, not assuming

You don’t need to have all the answers but be kind

β€˜He just told me lies to have sex with a teenage girl’: Natalie Fleet MP on grooming, statutory rape and fighting back At 15, she began seeing an older man and conceived her beloved daughter. It was years before she properly understood it as abuse. Now she is working tirelessly in parliament for other survivors

Powerful read in @theguardian.com

This struck me

β€œAnd shame really does need to switch sides.”

A glass bottle with a metal lid with a spray nozzle. The rubber bulb attachment is missing.

A glass bottle with a metal lid with a spray nozzle. The rubber bulb attachment is missing.

This is an antiseptic hand spray used during the dressing of small wounds in the wards. The spray was expelled by squeezing a rubber bulb.

Brilliant blog. Thank you for sharing.

The world needs more Irises (I think that's the plural of Iris πŸ˜„), more OTs & more compassionate, individualised care. We can all influence reaching that ambition

I'm glad Jane, and you, are getting the support you need.

P.s. Hope you find new climbing shoes
