Reviewed Health Policy & Advocacy Blogs Links (viewing 1 - 2 of 2)The Carlat Psychiatry Blog Daniel Carlat, M.D This blog is written by a private practice psychiatrist and focuses on supporting the search for honesty in continuing medical education (CME). The author looks at various sources of conflicts/inconsistencies in the way medical professionals and pharmaceutical companies interact. While posts are not often done very regularly, it is an interesting perspective and raises some good points that are worth checking out. MHFA England John Vanek This UK-based blog relates to mental health, mainstream, secondary and primary care. As a bridge builder, John is passionate about recovery and the return to mainstream life. While the blog is predominantly about the UK environment, Mental Health First Aid is now becoming very international and the articles will likely be of interest to readers outside of the UK as well.
