[Mark Walker @MarkW_Research]

Sadly couldn't make it either, but some great work from Nicola and we are hoping that we can take this forward with more research and more ideas. No turning back for Nicola now, she has the research bug!

[Elaine Willmore @ElaineWillmore]

Timetable clash meant I couldn’t watch Nicola presenting but I’m just so proud of her 🥰 As so many great projects do, it started with her picking up the phone and saying “I have an idea!” A researcher is born!! @MarkW_Research @carrie_biddle @GinaSargeant

[Mark Walker @MarkW_Research]

@GHCQIHub @k_a_williams01 @WeAHPs @SWresearchGO @CAHPRsouthwest Will take a look, thanks!

He will be sorely missed! Chris has been a constant in my lengthy NHS career and it truly is an end of an era. But a well deserved retirement!

[Elaine Willmore @ElaineWillmore]

Some lovely tributes to the @gloshospitals research legend that is Chris Foy who retired today. He has generously shared his encyclopaedic stats/ethics/methodology knowledge and has been a constant support to me for 15 years! Happy Retirement Chris! @Research4Glos @ChantalSunter

[Mark Walker @MarkW_Research]

Congratulations to everyone who won recognition for their collaborative efforts in research @GlosHealthNHS
