The medical profession and stigma against people who use drugs
2017
[...]medical diagnosis is normative. [...]medical models of understanding cast people who use and/or are dependent on drugs in a negative light. Gilchrist et al 5 found that healthcare professionals appear to attach lower standing to working with people who use drugs than to work other patient groups. Since healthcare professionals are influential, these negative attitudes may engender stigma elsewhere.

Something in the water
2021
In the play, Anna Carter (Genevieve O’Reilly), a British doctor, argues that communities who drink naturally lithium-rich water have improved mental health. The play reminds the audience of the resources on which everyday technology relies, who benefits, and who pays a price. [...]another, more serious, artistic misstep hangs over this production, accounting for much of the attention it has received. [...]shortly before previews of the play, Darvill's unsympathetic tech billionaire protagonist was called Hershel Fink, a Jewish name, its use risking propagating anti-Semitic stereotypes.

Cruelty and compassion
2021
Adshead likens all the interlocking factors that lead to violence to the numbers of a bike combination lock clicking into place, and it is striking how an understanding of behaviour and of mental experience often takes place at the level of a metaphor. A rookie initially, by the final chapter Adshead is more sure-footed and contemplating retirement after some three decades of working in secure hospitals and prisons. Former UK Prime Minister John Major is quoted in the book as saying that “Society needs to condemn a little more and understand a little less”.

Subtle provocation
Alice's team is working on a new project: it's an otherworldly flower with spiky blood red petals. The set and costumes possess a beguiling but icy strangeness, awash with pastel greens and shocking pinks and reminiscent of 1970s depictions of interstellar travel. In Lourdes (2009), viewers remain unsure whether a woman with multiple sclerosis has really experienced a miracle cure.

Minds and hearts
2020
Unlike many physical diseases, there are no blood or other biological tests to establish the presence or otherwise of a mental illness. [...]they're inescapable in This Book will Change Your Mind about Mental Health (previously called The Heartland), Filer's sensitive exploration of the experience psychiatrists call schizophrenia. Inspired by Filer's fictional portrayal of severe mental illness, people contacted him to share their own experiences; these are at the core of this new book, which focuses not only on how schizophrenia is researched and treated but also how it is lived.

Email in healthcare: pros, cons and efficient use
2024
Email is a major means of communication in healthcare and it facilitates the fast delivery of messages and information. But email's ubiquity has brought challenges. It has changed the way we get things done, and working days can be dictated by the receipt and reply of multiple email messages, which drown out other priorities. This article examines email's advantages and disadvantages and, with a focus on healthcare professionals, examines what individuals and organisations can do to ensure email works for us, rather than – as can seem the case – the other way around.

Born to run?
2019
Political drama is Hare's thing; in 1993 The Absence of War considered Labour's unsuccessful 1992 general election campaign. A National Health Service (NHS) doctor working in Corby hospital, she discovers it‘s about to close as part of a “rationalisation” initiative. [...]I'm Not Running is less immediately relevant than it otherwise might be.
