Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

The children of alcoholic parents need help. I know this all too well | Liam Byrne | Opinion | The Guardian

The children of alcoholic parents need help. I know this all too well | Liam Byrne | Opinion | The Guardian | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it

Even if you’ve brave enough to overcome the shame and stigma and seek help, you’ll find services are being cut heavily, says the MP Liam Byrne


Children of alcoholics are more likely to develop eating disorders, struggle with mental health and attempt suicide. They are also more likely to become alcoholics themselves. And so this terrible disease cascades down the generations. It’s time we broke the silence, the stigma and the shame, and ended the cycle of this vicious disease.
