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.
Thanks to Mental in his last post for pointing out the group Nurses for Reform, who I hadn’t heard of before – but I’ve had fun finding out.
As Mental says, their spokesperson Dr Helen Evans has recently been in the Nursing Times, after suggesting to David Cameron that nurses could create their own [...] I will post post this without much comment. This is about the pre-budget report.
The RCN wails and whines for money in these difficult times. “Please do not slash the funding for one of the biggest money sinks in the country”. RCN calls for sustained NHS investment ahead of pre-budget report Ahead of this week’s [...] Really I have no idea what I am about to write. I was intending to do a whole what is mental illness type post, then thought frankly life is too short. So I am going to discuss a couple of things I came across recently and try to link them together for no [...]
I think I might be a bit late to the party here and everyone else might know about this already.
Apparently they are either trying to or in the process of implementing payment by results in the UK (or just England?) mental health system. It looks like this would be used at a [...] Today, I’m going to do something a little different. Normally I use This Week in Mentalists to do a round-up of weekly thoughts and musings from mental health bloggers. However, this week there seems to be a particular issue that’s popping a lot on the blogosphere, and that’s the way US right-wingers have [...]
Nadine Dorries MP, bless her little jackboots, has a wonderful excuse for the MP expenses scandal. It’s because MPs aren’t paid enough, so ripping off your expenses is okay..
Well, if feeling underpaid means it’s okay to have a system whereby you can claim ridiculous items on expenses, how about we extend that principle [...] It may not be murder, but at the very least it’s assault.
I’m guessing that a court of law may well have difficulty establishing a causal link between being shoved to the ground by the police officer and his heart attack a few minutes later. It could be impossible to prove that the two [...] 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: [...] Have you been finding yourself developing a favourable opinion of Barack Obama? Do you sometimes read the Guardian? Do you think that maybe gay marriage isn’t really much of a threat to society? Would you like to see a stronger welfare state?
Well, “acclaimed, veteran psychiatrist” (so acclaimed, in fact, that I’ve never heard [...] With the news that Richard Branson has taken over as vice-president of the Patients Assocation, Zoe Williams in today’s Guardian responds to some of Branson’s comments.
He said MRSA was horrific, which of course is true. He continued: “In the airline industry if we had that kind of track record we would have been [...] I can now announced that the winner of this week’s BNP-themed caption competition is Beakie, who scored 7 with:
Snow White and the Five Dwarves, Sleazy, Scummy, Angry, Twatty and Hateful. OR From left to right: Leeds Chief Constable, Equality and Diversity Lead for the University of Bogbreath and staff nurses from the local mental health [...] From the Beeb comes news that the entire British National Party (BNP) membership list ended up being posted online. For those of you who don’t know, the BNP is a far-right whites-only party that campaigns mainly on an anti-immigrant, “send ‘em all ‘ome” ticket. Despite attempts to gussy up its image [...]
Since the whole world seems to be talking about this week’s victory of Messiah Bloke over Uncle Fester and the Batshit Crazy Moose-Shooting Lady, I’m going to include a special This Week in Mentalists supplement, looking at how the mentalist blogosphere has been reacting to the news.
