I'm really looking forward to the next few days. This conference is always good fun, thought-provoking, challenging and exhausting #BIGSPD26

We have a team of #BeyondTheRoom correspondents here in Blackpool. They'll be posting here on Bluesky, and a few other places too (LinkedIn, Instagram etc.)

It’s me! 😊

We do have lots more little elves working behind the scenes these days, esp helping with live reporting from conferences #BeyondTheRoom

I think it’s a big strength having all of these different and diverse voices, but as you say, it’s important you know who’s writing all the posts.

So nope. Sadder about the first one though — not for me but for the org and the work they do making expensive health conference content more accessible to patients by paying a team to tweet #BeyondTheRoom.

Fascinating study on BPD diagnosis in older adults 👵🏽👴🏼 Symptoms often missed due to generational differences & biases. Whole-team, shared understanding key to care. Limited access to age-inclusive DBT. Diagnosis alone may not meet their needs. #beyondtheroom #BIGSPD25
