My turn to delve into the delights of world of blogs. As part of my continuing attempt to be awesomely Cool for Cats ™ I intend to make little Tweet like comments describing the minutiae of my life as I compile That Was The Week That Was This Week In Mentalists. (TWTWTWTWIM).
Following on from yesterday’s post about Nurses for Reform, today I did a little rant over on Liberal Conspiracy, specifically focusing on Dr Helen Evans’ deeply offensive insinuation that the NHS is founded on Nazi principles.
The Liberal Conspiracy post seems to have generated quite a bit of Twitter traffic. It’s been tweeted by [...] The editors of the Mind Blog wanted some cutting-edge, talented blogger from the field of mental health nursing write a monthly post for them, but they just got me instead. This month, I blogged about….well, blogging, since it seems rather topical what with the recent TWIM awards.
On the subject of blogging on blogs [...] At the end of last year I did a little awards post, recognising those mental health blogs that I’ve enjoyed in a year of compiling TWIM once a week. This time round, I think I’ll put it to a vote.
Please leave your nominations in the comments thread. The blogs with the most nominations [...] The mental health charity Mind have their own blog, and I’ve got a guest post on it, talking about the Derek Gale case and the need for regulation in psychotherapy.
Also on the Mind blog is a post about how lax standards by some psychotherapy organisations enabled one pet owner to register his pet [...] And yes, I have indeed been wanting to use that headline for ages.
The reason for the headline is to announced that I’ve got a guest post over on the Liberal Conspiracy website, reporting on the dangers of unregulated psychotherapists. No, that title is not confirmation of what OSB’s been suspecting for years. It’s to announce that I have a guest post over on the Liberal Conspiracy blog.
Go read. It’s with seething jealousy great pleasure that I hear that Seaneen aka Mentally Interesting: The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive is having her blog output adapted into a radio play.
Dos and Don’ts for the Mentally Interesting is due to air on Radio 4 on Friday 8th May at 2.15pm. Seaneen’s blog makes [...] I’m going to go briefly off-topic from mental health to discuss a separate (though in some ways related) topic: prostitution and other forms of sex work.
As you lot will know, I can’t resist a good blogfight, and I’ve been lurking on an absolute corker of a cyber-ruckus over at Liberal Conspiracy (See also: [...] I’ve been doing This Week in Mentalists, our weekly round-up of mental health blogging, for just over a year now. For that reason, I think it’s now time to do an Actual Proper Award Ceremony, with Actual Proper Awards and stuff.
Well, when I say “Actual Proper Award Ceremony”, I mean “a blog post”. [...] Over on Nurses Universe (the Nursing Times’ group blog), there’s a bit of a hoohah going on about this blog post by Erin Docherty. She’s a student nurse who, although deeply committed to nursing, has had to drop out for 7 months in order to restart the semester, because she’s failed an essay. [...]
Just in case any of you didn’t catch Seaneen and Mandy talking about mental health blogging on Radio 4’s All in the Mind, you can listen to it online here.
Mental Nurse got a mention, albeit very briefly, along with Experimental Chimp and Aethelred the Unread. Ahhh, fame. I’m just updating some of the links. One new addition is a group blog written by a bunch of nurses. Dammit, I knew we should have copyrighted the idea…
Anyway, the blog is Nurses Universe, which has been set up by the Nursing Times. Their collective includes at least one mental nurse, who isn’t [...] This edition brings us:
Google – the thinking grannies thinking thing. World Autism Awareness Day and Bringing mental and emotional health into the school curriculum. But first – Starting of this week with the UK – You’re all a bunch of whining hypochondriacs. Well, 1 in every 25 or so – according to The Times: A little over a week, the great Doc Crippen pleasured us with this guest post.
Within the commentary of this discourse, I believe it was firmly and established that this offer of… I will bet you all a virtual pint that more than 75% of newly qualified nurses are under 25. …was irrefutably and evidentially proven [...] |
