@tc_thrane @RowForIt25 @theatlanticdash @nicksouthwood @MasonAlexandra @CDOCuk @cardiffuni @EvelinaLondon @NHSuk @SharkTrustUK Thanks. I’ve just downloaded the app - & got the #AtlanticDash race map. The little boat icon looks very small for rowing across that big ocean. Respect to all the @theatlanticdash teams - & I’ll be especially cheering @RowForIt25

Families are routinely barred from saying they have a relative in these court cases & this impacts on journalism too @CardiffJomec PhD student unpacks the implications & a successful challenge to the ban here, co-written with @KitzingerCelia @CardiffLaw & a mother: Heather Walton
Heather Walton can be named as the mother of a P in a Court of Protection case. Two days ago I could have been held in contempt of court for saying that: been fined, had my assets seized or even been sent to prison. New blog: @OpenJusticeCoP

@scrivvyfloor @CardiffJomec @MailOnline Sorry it’s making you question continuing in the job - I can only imagine the terrible stress of trying to do the best possible in the worst of circumstances Thank you for bearing the burden of decision-making & all you have done to care for patients (& families)🙏

As well as the original 2 day court hearing there was also Court of Appeal hearing & a long published judgment from that too (29th Nov.) A pity no reference by journalist to this wealth of diverse information to unpack this distressing situation.

Interesting to read Mail’s account of this tragic case. Family believe this unconscious woman blinks on request. This was disputed in court by nurses/drs caring for her & ‘second opinion’ experts. Why assert as fact & not report diverse sources?

@juleshodierne Lovely to hear that Julia. Ah, yes, the white carpet … it didn’t stay white for long - too much hospitality & Sheila’s childbirth workshops footfall!

My new blog: ‘families are not inevitably the best people to advocate for a patient. But sometimes families are exactly the right people to promote ‘P’s voice’ – and that is the strong sense I got with this family.” But the judge made a different decision
