I’ve just finished my first @Mental_Elf live tweeting session of the day - as a Psychologist I appreciate the skill in making slides accessible -fantastic presentation Next session after the break is covered by @Macfarlanes25 #CMHP24

@DrBenkwitz Super interested in this!

@Macfarlanes25 @SarahJPharm @Hafsah_Habib Stigma is definitely a factor IMO but also I think the “confidence” issue needs exploring - I think if you dig beneath the surface it’s going to be more complex and nuanced.

@SarahJPharm @Macfarlanes25 @Hafsah_Habib There is no justifiable explanation Issues such as confidence, skills &knowledge r frequently raised w me as reasons 4 not discussing side effects alongside fear that it will lead to non-adherence -I feel this approach would not be tolerated in other areas of healthcare #CMHP24

@Macfarlanes25 @SarahJPharm @Hafsah_Habib Absolutely and this is the message that comes across strongly in our current research - clinicians are concerned that informing about side effects leads to non adherence - yet helping them to understand and cope with side effects can increase adherence

@Macfarlanes25 @Hafsah_Habib @NIHR @PharMED_ @Prof_Ian_M @RichardKeers I think that is really important for people to know. We need to know that what we are doing is driving positive change - we want to improve things so let’s get it right from the beginning!
