A talk I gave at the British Academy last thursday with a response by Jane Morris (chair of the Scottish Division of the Royal College of Psychiatrists)
As a person who has worked and been treated in secondary and tertiary mental health services, I could not agree more with this. I’m a bit speechless (not like me at all)….all mental health workers need to read this (especially the higher echelons who are often more ‘KPI’ obsessed than care obsessed). Thank you for this Graham… I wish I could have been there.
What an incredible speech. I wish I could have been there in person to hear this in your wonderful voice. You have shown so eloquently how complex the issue is of supporting people with mental health illnesses, and yet also, how simple it can be at times too.

Thank you so much Kath !!
An early bit of feedback from the conference - pretty sure i like it!
“I hope it’s okay for me to say this, but I love this speaker (Graham), he’s so good!”
“He’s brought me to tears” (Graham)
Thank you so much! I thought it was good and was told so at the event but it is always worrying when launching it into the ether!
