I am struggling to form a coherent opinion that stays even vaguely professional. That she is still practicing is astonishing.11 Aug 2026 20:24 +0000at://did:plc:ccmoahn3dwq2zidxbhwcapd6/app.bsky.feed.post/3msth3hyhmk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/seabeard.bsky.social/post/3msfy67x26224But what is a hub and who is going to staff them. We can’t recruit to main services. Is this a cup of tea and a less guilty conscience?06 Aug 2026 11:53 +0000at://did:plc:ccmoahn3dwq2zidxbhwcapd6/app.bsky.feed.post/3msfy67x26224https://bsky.app/profile/seabeard.bsky.social/post/3ms6ir2z6x22oDeep distrust of today’s rhetoric around ‘academic’ (!) focussed schools. Working class kids deserve art for arts sake, literature for literatures sake, science for science sake.

In the UK we have dedicated mental health services for people facing moderate to severe mental health conditions in pregnancy and two years postnatal.
