I am so honoured and grateful to receive a CBE. Thanks to all the @rcpsych members who elected and supported me. Thanks also to my patients and their carers who have inspired me to do my best to improve the services that they receive.

Our letter in @thetimes today. Entirely wrong to say there is no science behind psychiatry. And mentally ill people do not “choose not to work”, that is a disgusting thing to say.
Pleased to announce that I have started with @NHS_HealthEdEng as a National Mental Health Clinical Advisor. Will be working on recruitment, training and workforce. Looking forward to collaboration with @rcpsych.
