TY @Rebecca99LT for courageously sharing lived experience w/ #RCPsychIC. Your blog detailing ‘significant & lasting memory loss’ of your child’s early yrs…💔. @ReadReadj & @Chris_E_Harrop’s recent #AuditECT discovered this risk omitted/minimised in most #ECT Pt info leaflets
“When I take quetiapine I can eat for Scotland and it’s mostly pies” says @Rebecca99LT . She has also had 70 sessions of ECT. Talks movingly about being both a patient with mental illness and a psychiatrist. #RCPsychIC
Yes! Delirium IS a risk factor for dementia which is precisely 1 of many reasons psychiatry must be exponentially more alert to grievous #PatientSafety concerns including postictal delirium after #ECT & recognize manufacturers risks of permanent memory loss! #AuditECT #RCPsychIC
TJ: Big struggle in our real world thinking in how we put delirium and dementia together. Delirium is a risk factor for dementia.

@apospodcast @AsylumMagUK Plenty of things have worked apart from ect. During my training ect was often seen as the logical choice due to time and budget constraints. That and inherent cruelty in the treatment of people with mental illness.
The hypocrisy… Yes these are important aspects of leadership. Listen to yourselves. And then listen to injured patients.

Important aspects of leadership are living the values of the organisation and looking at the complaints as well as the compliments you receive about your management. Hearing great practical advice as Virtual Congress #RCPsychIC
