Everyone is invited to the online launch of our spring issue. Meet our artists, authors, poets and guest editors @StopOxevision and @NSUNnews Date: Thursday 13th March Time: 18.30- 19.30 GMT Register here us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…
"The “we know best” mentality of many mental health services invalidates and demotes living experience." In the first blog of 'The Limitations of Lived Experience' series, NSUN CEO, Mandy Crandale looks toward genuine co-production in mental health. nsun.org.uk/living-experie…
NHS England has published new principles on the use of digital technologies in mental health inpatient settings. These principles are vague and unenforceable. They don't halt the rollout of tech like Oxevision, and lack regulatory power. Our statement👇 nsun.org.uk/news/nsun-resp…
On the topic of co-production in mental health services, she outlined issues with payment, support, and power dynamics, as well as the need to be truthful about whether meaningful co-production has actually taken place.
On Wednesday, NSUN’s @cbuckler_ was in Parliament talking about mental health services. They made the case for a care first rather than cost first approach: we must invest in care because it is the right thing to do, not because it may drive productivity or boost the economy.
“In October 2024 Stop Oxevision received a draft copy of these principles. We shared numerous concerns about the document and offered (unpaid) advice on how to strengthen it. The majority of our concerns were ignored, and the issues remain in the published document”
“After almost a year to establish ‘principles’ for the use of digital technologies on inpatient mental health wards, NHS England have published them– quietly on a Friday as if to avoid attention” stopoxevision.wordpress.com/2025/02/11/emp…
If it's one bad egg, it's a bad egg. If it's a few bad eggs, it's a bad box. If it's hundreds of bad boxes over decades, it's an issue with the supplier. We cannot keep blaming the structural issues in children's mental healthcare on bad staff. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
It comes as news to us that @rcpsych and @Rethink_ are calling for Oxevision to be paused. We welcome and agree with this call but are surprised given neither institution has used their platforms to say this over the past 18+ months of our campaign
Reminder that there's no independent research into the physical & psychological safety of digital observation or on the ethics & acceptability of its implementation. 'Filming me sleep on ward made my mental health worse' via @BBCNews bbc.com/news/articles/…
Join us 1-2pm this Friday for the latest in our series of FREE webinars to shape Version 2 of the RRN Training Standards. Colleagues from across sectors are welcome. We warmly welcome people with lived experience. Register to attend here: bit.ly/RRNTS3
"The hospital doctor smirked as he changed my diagnosis from bipolar to borderline personality disorder – BPD. And with that, the validity of my madness was gone." from the article Too Much by @iamzoekristin Art by @mud_the_kid asylummagazine.org/2023/03/too-mu… #MentalInkness
Oxehealth have a new website and it shows how much they've worked on rebranding their product since the beginning. All the buzzwords, jargon and cutesy cartoons Do have a look, though I'm not sure this new website is supposed to come up on google yet.. oxehealth.com/new-home-optio…
We are so excited to share this animation produced by Kat Hudson on camera based surveillance in psychiatric wards. Surveillance is not safety. Huge thanks to @NSUNnews for making this possible
Mental health service users often report an absence of support after experiencing coercive practices (e.g. #restraint) on #mentalhealth wards. We want to change this. Help shape support for service users exposed to restraint. More information here: forms.office.com/e/xyHs346P3F
"... voices like Sophina’s – from those who have experienced the impact of surveillance first-hand – provide a wealth of knowledge that is critical to ensuring reviews such as this are relevant, balanced and effective." 👏

🧵Many talk about psych pathologisation but I don’t see much talk about individualisation. Madness is individualised thru pathologising psych labels, or trauma practices that focus only on bodies & nervous systems, or even thru some ways folks talk about neurodivergence. 1/12
