    UK - Resources for help getting food during quarantine and other supermarket related problems

    In my area you still have to stay up to book a Tesco priority delivery slot 4 weeks in advance as this is normally the only time they are still available. The priority slots get booked within 24 hours, whereas the non priority ones get booked between 12 midnight and 6 am.

    UK: Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) articles, blogs and discussion

    The reason for the completion of forms before the start of every session is so that they can report a 'successful completion of treatment' after just a minimum of 2 sessions of CBT. It's almost as if they predicted when designing the IAPT system that a large proportion of clients would become...

    I came across this site that may interest members with wheat or dairy intolerance. They do a range of long life breads and cakes. I've never tried their products, so just posting for information rather than recommending them. https://www.everfreshnaturalfoods.com/

    Blog: Homeostasis, Exercise, and COVID-19 Isolation by David Marks

    I think that is a very good point to make to doctors and other health professionals. I was the same when I was less severe. Even now, if I achieve something one day, I feel good. The problem is what happens to me physically later.

    UK - Resources for help getting food during quarantine and other supermarket related problems

    I've decided to stick with using Tesco as most of my items are turning up and I don't allow substitutions for most items. I even got a pack of Hovis malted brown granary flour in my Friday delivery! I do however have to book my slots 4 weeks ahead in the early hours of the morning, when that...

    Easy ways to provide dessert for people would be tinned fruit and packs of concentrated jelly. Sponge flan bases, tinned fruit and the instant packet glazing gel is another easy option, as well tinned or powder custard, tinned Abrosia rice etc. Really, they could have asked any food bank for...

    Technically my parcels have each contained 2 tins of vegetables. The first contained a large tin of mushy peas, and a can of chopped tomatoes, the second a large can of kidney beans and a can of plum tomatoes. There has been no tinned fruit or anything that could pass as a 'dessert'. The tea and...

    I had my second government food parcel. This time the potatoes were green and some of the carrots were going rotten. The bread had been previously frozen and was drying out. There is almost zero protein - one tin of Frey Bentos chicken meatballs (17% chicken) and a small tin of tuna in brine...

    The COVID-19 Stress and Health Study (UK)

    I have a lot of respect for Steve Reicher - he is one of the originators of 'participant based research' in social psychology. I met him at a BPS Social Psychology conference as an undergraduate. I would have been happy to have him as my PhD supervisor when I was looking at doing this 20 odd...
