A great day at #SCaH2025 yesterday presenting a poster outlining my PhD 🧑🏻‍🔬

Really enjoyed delivering my second session to KS3 for @BrilliantClub

Today we learned about types of cells, pathogens and disease- and of course wrote this on some sticky notes 📝

Looking forward to the next few months working with some great scientists in the making! 👩🏻‍🔬🧬

A rewarding session today teaching my weekly Year 1 Medicine students @LeedsMedHealth about CBT and preventative measures for stress.

Here are some student examples of the negative thinking cycle and ways to break it by CBT.

Some great enthusiasm and thinking by the students!

Another great trip down to London for the @rcpsych @NCCMentalHealth QuITT event.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to speak to trusts at different stages of implementing QuITT, and think of some new ways to involve patients throughout my own research!

Megan’s PhD aims to develop & compare recommendations for supporting people with severe mental illness to quit smoking using existing literature & a positive deviance study. Watch @RuthMBaxter's snapshot to learn about the positive deviance approach: https://t.co/BI22VWsHXD
