Hi @garethswarbrick

1) I had DIRECT contact with you at the consultation when we spoke and I told you the wider public would not support your plans. You scoffed and walked off.

This was the same consultation elderly residents of @RochdaleHomes came out crying from. Remember? 2) Have you forgotten the petition with 600signatures residents of @RochdaleHomes submitted to the @RochdaleCouncil?

Let me jog your memory..

Some thoughts about using #Ramadan to help our patients.

Ramadan usually lasts 29-30days depending on the lunar calendar.

We're about a third of the way in...the middle part is about asking for forgiveness.

Praying-Help a person structure their routine according to the 5daily prayers. Not everyone can manage all 5 prayers. Start with the easiest and build up

They can shorten their prayers and only read the obligatory (fard) units for each prayer time and build up

I attended an Clincal Psychology  training open day today for BAME people. Here are my initial reflections.

I went with an open mind, curious about whether I can learn anything that may help me with my @BABCP
Work.

Would like other people's perspectives too please 🙂

 1/11 1) One application form for different courses, with different selection criteria, with different emphasis on what each course is looking for. Some veer more towards clinical experience and some research. See the issue here? Some found this confusing today.  2/11
