Episode 29, finally here… Yes, yes, we know, sorry. In our defence, it’s Thatcher’s fault! And Norman Lamont, he was part of the problem. And Brexit. And… and Partygate! It was everyone else’s fault! Deflect! Project! And if all else fails, there must be a dead cat round here somewhere… As the nation falls into even more sh!t – all of it created by right-wingers and their pathetic supporters – Stuart and Ed come out of their isolation tanks and have a good moan about everything. Because, as a formerly active Russian* once said, everything is connected to everything else. Thanks for waiting. S ..read more

Episode 28 – After an involuntary hiatus – which isn’t even the fault of the hated Tories – Stuart and Ed regroup for a brief debrief, but not over cheese and wine in the garden because we’re not the hated Tories. We ran a poll on what parts of MH services were in greatest need, and here we offer our thoughts on the results. This episode dedicated with much love to Kip Freshwater.

I don’t really know what to say as I launch myself into constructing the first blog of 2021 for our wee pod. It seems that there would be so much to rage about right now. The injustice of the welfare system, the way in which the ‘game’ of life is rigged against those experiencing mental ill-health. The lack of investment in service provision and support for people living with learning disabilities or the flagrant disregard for neurodiversity. Yes, as my blood begins to boil so I am reminded of the one thing that was designed to unilaterally harm the most vulnerable in our communities, to margi ..read more

Saturday 5th of December 2020 – 9pm This coming Saturday RMN Behaving Badly will be brining the traditional Nurses Christmas Night out to your living rooms, or wherever you might choose to pop your electronic device. It has been the shittiest of shitty years – that is unless you got one of those lucrative contracts from Boris to produce PPE then never actually had to deliver on any of it. In that case you’ll be sitting in the Cayman Islands hoping that Ed & Stuart don’t track you down. Lets all get together, raise our collective roofs & share our favourite tipple amongst those who have ..read more

Well folks, seems like 2020, the International Year of the Nurse & Midwife has been a doozy for each and every one of us. The year started off with such great promise, Nursing and Midwifery thrust into the forefront of the global community, reminding those who needed reminding of just how integral we are to a health, fit & vibrant world. Covid-19 however, like some demented spin doctor thinking that the message wasn’t loud enough, descended upon our lives and made sure that the profession of nursing and our contributions to society would not be ushered off into the margins once more.
