Had a super interesting chat with the lovely @_katiewaller_@NHSEmployers#stepintohealth. Excited about the future and how we can better support female veterans particularly in their first few years of working in healthcare. Watch this space!
Delighted to take part in an early celebration of Armed Forces Reserves day yesterday - a joint event between @derbyshcft and @DerbyUni.
Great to see all aspects of the armed forces community as well as the police and fire service being represented.
Fully out of my comfort zone here π
I recorded a podcast a few weeks ago with the wonderful @HughKeir about my time in the #military and my journey into psychiatry. Lots of topics discussed including the concept of #moralinjury
Today Iβm learning more about how we can use lifestyle medicine as an alternative or complementary treatment alongside medications in psychiatry π Can we reduce antidepressant prescribing? #RCPsychLifestyle@rcpsych@BritSocLM
