Book Club #123 - You Don’t Have To Be Mad To Work Here - In the first of a new series of Book Club Richard talks to psychiatrist and former stand up Benji Waterhouse (if that is his real name) about his terrific memoir about working for the NHS and the importance of prioritising mental health. They discuss how to treat this subject with humour and sensitivity, as well as providing your patients with anonymity, the short-sightedness of underfunding and ignoring our mental health, the difficult decisions that NHS staff are forced to make, why Benji wanted to include his personal issues in the book, the shadow of Adam Kay and writing the screen play. Plus why Richard definitely doesn’t need a psychiatrist!
