The death of Prof Amit Patel in the UK highlights a frightening problem in medicine. One that disabled and marginalized individuals have been screaming about for years. Doctors don’t always listen to the patient - sometimes with catastrophic consequences. 🧵 /1
Today is the 15th anniversary of the launch of Disability News Service. Over those 15 years, DNS has reported on many appalling abuses of disabled people’s rights. Below are 15 news stories that highlight some of what we’ve gone through, and why there is so much more still to do.
Lots to learn from coproducing service changes with people with lived experience AND general practice teams. Potential for reducing inequalities and increasing joy in general practice- double win?!

Imagine if we took lived experience seriously and if a person said they were suicidal, we believed them. Let's try listening more to suicidal people while they are still alive instead of counting them when they are dead.
Fern was diagnosed with BPD but it was removed by a consultant psychiatrist. It was repeatedly re-added, the conviction her problems were BPD overshadowing what are pretty standard autistic communication patterns+ needs. This would have escalated her distress in a vicious circle.
I find it ridiculous that suicidality in women and girls is interpreted as 'BPD' almost by default. PTSD, ADHD and ASD are all more prevalent although more commonly associated with men and boys. Yet, WOMEN with these conditions are more likely than men to attempt suicide.
Fascinating day of wildlife on #Anglesey. At Llyn Llywenan My first (4+) willow warblers of 2024 - the sound of spring. Plus an otter. Later at Ligwy on north coast: 2 red throated divers 10 sanderlings. @AngBirdNews
@CharleyBaker1 "I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least—and it is commonly more than that—sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements." ~ Thoreau❤️#Walking gutenberg.org/files/1022/102…
Some say an autism “golden ticket” is a privilege. Reality it gets you Lifetime of loneliness Lifetime of no relationships Little opportunity for meaningful work Early death So understand it is only golden in their eyes.
VIP NEW STUDY: ✔️1 in 4 autistic patients received what they believed was a psychiatric misdiagnosis prior to being diagnosed. ✔️The most common misdiagnosis was personality disorders. ✔️Previous misdiagnosis was more common in women. = #AutismNotPD tinyurl.com/4cs49shz

Proud of the commentary Georgia and I wrote on this comprehensive review, which clearly shows that evidence does not currently support rolling out surveillence tech on wards

This comment from a mental health nurse shows the catch-22 people find themselves in. Someone can literally openly plan their own death and will still be viewed as seeking attention in some way.
The suicide rate rose in England in 2023 & the likeliest cause is the economic downturn, the cost of living crisis. Why is that & what does it mean for prevention? Short 🧵 & TW

DWP must be subject to greater scrutiny and held to account. DWP must also be transparent about their data and investigations into early deaths of benefit claimants so we can learn from any 'mistakes' and rectify.

"I've also had the experience of the crisis team both without a recorded PD diagnosis on my notes and with one. It's night and day. Why do we give already vulnerable people labels that basically flag them up as targets for more abuse and trauma?"- Fern Foster 💜 and 🕯️for day 2.
I know a woman who was judged as 'BPD' and had her baby removed to be permanently adopted. He's now approaching secondary school age. Years later, turns out... she never had a 'PD' at all. She is AUTISTIC!!! Late diagnosed. Horrific 'errors' that cannot be rectified, ever.

More #EquitableAccess to #GeneralPractice with potential for improved health equity and staff wellbeing was found in this co-designed service-improvements study with patients with severe and multiple disadvantage doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2… @DrLucypotter @Hmcgera @MichelleCFarr
Fern was diagnosed with BPD but it was removed by a consultant psychiatrist. It was repeatedly re-added, the conviction her problems were BPD overshadowing what are pretty standard autistic communication patterns+ needs. This would have escalated her distress in a vicious circle.
@we_are_nina Cheers mate yeah all good here. Good to see you hope you’re doing ok too
@we_are_nina I’ve never come across this and I love it!
Fascinating day of wildlife on #Anglesey. At Llyn Llywenan My first (4+) willow warblers of 2024 - the sound of spring. Plus an otter. Later at Ligwy on north coast: 2 red throated divers 10 sanderlings. @AngBirdNews
@we_are_nina ❤️they have - a good friend reminds me that you never regret a walk & it’s turned into my mantra when I don’t want to go!
@we_are_nina @sectioned_ @sectioned Do you want to drop me a DM or email? Hope you're doing OK. I'm back to work from Sunday. disabilitynewsservice.com/contact-dns1/
VIP NEW STUDY: ✔️1 in 4 autistic patients received what they believed was a psychiatric misdiagnosis prior to being diagnosed. ✔️The most common misdiagnosis was personality disorders. ✔️Previous misdiagnosis was more common in women. = #AutismNotPD tinyurl.com/4cs49shz
Overwhelmed, exhausted & anxious, so I went for a fast, angry walk aaaaaand discovered 2/3rd of the way in that I hadn’t set it to track 🤦♀️ but all the more important now that I carry on my getting healthier, tho for the most awful of reasons. The lovely wishes are appreciated xx
Proud of the commentary Georgia and I wrote on this comprehensive review, which clearly shows that evidence does not currently support rolling out surveillence tech on wards
The use and impact of surveillance-based technology initiatives in inpatient and acute mental health settings: A systematic review (pre-print, before peer-review). New paper from a great team @MentalHealthPRU medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
This comment from a mental health nurse shows the catch-22 people find themselves in. Someone can literally openly plan their own death and will still be viewed as seeking attention in some way.
The suicide rate rose in England in 2023 & the likeliest cause is the economic downturn, the cost of living crisis. Why is that & what does it mean for prevention? Short 🧵 & TW
New suicide figures for the final 3m of 2023 are published by @ONS today, giving us rates for last year as a whole. It is not good news. The suicide rate rose 6% from 2022, the first substantial rise since 2018. The rate was 11.1 per 100,000 people, highest figure since 1999.
Protection then from price rises, creditors, repossessions. Recognition from businesses of how their customers are struggling. Society-wide focus on additional risks such as alcohol, gambling, domestic violence.
"I've also had the experience of the crisis team both without a recorded PD diagnosis on my notes and with one. It's night and day. Why do we give already vulnerable people labels that basically flag them up as targets for more abuse and trauma?"- Fern Foster 💜 and 🕯️for day 2.
People do not realise how shaping PD is in how one is seen even if its retracted, as in Fern's case. Even if a more fitting diagnosis comes along. It is that sticky. This is why we say its not choosable. This is why we demand better. #JusticeForFern
