Scientists now have a better understanding of the immediate and long-term impact of COVID-19 on the brain - research shows that 12-18 months after hospitalisation due to COVID-19, patients' cognitive powers have worsened https://t.co/jR8ZdNFIsV

Conspiracy theories are about identity: "The theory 'makes sense' to us and vindicates our perspective on the world, often making us feel better connected with the social groups we already belong to." https://t.co/uiIb2A7fhG

Great to see knowledge and wisdom of practitioners being considered equal to research knowledge in this graphic. #HSRUK24

[Verity Jones @verityroseJones]

Wonderful to have the opportunity to present on the results of my literature review and stakeholder involvement with Imaan from @IMH_UoB youth advisory group at #HSRUK24.

[The Institute for Mental Health (IMH) @IMH_UoB]

Love that there is a running club at #HSRUK24! Apparently walking and jogging is welcome too ❤️

[The Institute for Mental Health (IMH) @IMH_UoB]

We need a supportive culture for sure! I would definitely feel very welcomed, willing and able to take part. So, down to learn more! Thanks @verityroseJones and Imaan for the presentation at
#HSRUK24 @HSRN_UK. Research supported by @wellcometrust @unibirmingham @UoBSocialPolicy

[The Institute for Mental Health (IMH) @IMH_UoB]

I appreciate the steps they have taken to facilitate youth co-production (eg transparency and being honest with what can or can’t be changed/ sharing power and responsibility) - it makes me feel a lot more respected and valued. #HSRUK24

[The Institute for Mental Health (IMH) @IMH_UoB]

They have come up with 5 theories! Now I have to read the paper. #HSRUK24

[The Institute for Mental Health (IMH) @IMH_UoB]

I loved the analogy of the tennis ball to represent realist logic and explain how these projects can’t be done in the lab but have to take place in a real-world environment. #HSRUK24 @verityroseJones

[The Institute for Mental Health (IMH) @IMH_UoB]

They screened 570 abstracts! And ended up including 57 papers in the final review. It is a really thorough piece of research they have done!! :) #HSRUK24

[The Institute for Mental Health (IMH) @IMH_UoB]

They have used a rapid realist review method! Meaning there is a lot more stakeholder involvement - just what co-production needs. @verityroseJones Graphic produced by Imaan, member of the @IMH_UoB YAG #HSRUK24
