Great talk this morning by Tom Beaney on continuity of care #EPH2024 @Imperial_PCPH

[Kim Foley @KA_Foley]

Beautiful backdrop for a presentation this afternoon at the @ImperialPaeCH symposium. Had to give a remote presentation from Lisbon as I presented at #EPH2024 this morning! An interesting day discussing patterns of respiratory infections in young children. @ARC_NWL @Imperial_CHU

[Kim Foley @KA_Foley]

Check out this (adorable!) update and fantastic summary of recently published literature from @HelenSkirrow!

(Looking forward to your return and hopefully I’ll make the list of ongoing collaborators! 😘)

[Helen Skirrow @HelenSkirrow]

1/🧵PhD update!!!

I haven’t finished my thesis as arrival of our third little Skirrow boy earlier this year has *somewhat* delayed me 🤣

But he has helped me get some PhD papers out (yay!)

[Kim Foley @KA_Foley]

@profhelenward Lovely photos. (They’re making me homesick! 🇨🇦 )

It’s a great journal to be involved with and a truly wonderful group to people to get to know (not that I’m biased… 😉)

@Richard_GP Love the glasses! (And hugs for the grant rejection. I know the feeling - still a bit raw!)

[Kim Foley @KA_Foley]

I’m always horrified when I am sent the email from the journal to the authors and I find out that I was Reviewer 2.

…But more often than not I am Reviewer 2. 😬🫣

[Kim Foley @KA_Foley]

@rgnijman @REACHnetworkLDN It was an excellent (and very interesting) presentation!

Important reminders [for me as a researcher] about the barriers/challenges to getting research into practice! #RCPCH24

Always inspiring to drop by the @RCPCH_and_Us stand and talk about engagement work! Managed to pick up a cute friend to accompany me for the rest of the conference. #RCPCH24

1 million children live in destitution.

1 in 5 households with children are food insecure.

Poverty is worsening health inequalities and poorer education outcomes - Sir Michael Marmot.

Government must take action and invest in our children’s futures. #RCPCH24 #ShiftTheDial
