@lisacoleary @THIS_Institute Thanks Lisa - glad you found it interesting

[Oli Williams @OliWilliamsPhD]

Really enjoyed this chat for the @THIS_Institute podcast talking about research I've done into co-production with others working in such important and interesting areas. Available in all the usual places people get podcasts.

@FionaQuigs In my experience, 'gold standards' in this field tend to lead people to describe what they're doing in those terms but not actually following through in practice. We need people to be more honest and transparent about what they're doing and why.

[Oli Williams @OliWilliamsPhD]

@FionaQuigs Thanks for listening Quigs. I agree, a big part of the problem is people misrepresenting what they're doing - saying they're taking a participatory approach but not actually doing so. This is why I am against any one approach being viewed as the 'gold standard. 1/2

Louca-Mai and I are incredibly grateful to the #PPI staff who trusted this project. They are the people who experience the fallout when inclusive and equitable involvement in research is set up as a 'deliverable'. We hope to have done them justice.

Hear Helen talk about her @THIS_Institute PhD fellowship. Enjoyed how the chat drew on research evidence & clinical practice to consider different ways care can be improved to support recoveries. Left me feeling like change is possible (worth listening to if you’re losing hope)!

[Danny Lennon @NutritionDanny]

I had the pleasure of talking to @HelenlouWest about her research and clinical experience in inpatient eating disorder treatment.

What does inclusive research practice look like and how can it be improved? Hear from @OliWilliamsPhD @lynn_laidlaw and @LiviJosephHD: https://t.co/BJcqS4m2wd

@cityalan @THIS_Institute That's great - glad you had a good one. What an incredible way of breaking into the top half of the table 😉

[Oli Williams @OliWilliamsPhD]

When your funder looks at you through a mother's eyes 😂 A very generous summary of my @THIS_Institute fellowship. Though despite the pandemic derailing the project it does feel like we achieved a lot. Thanks to everyone who collaborated with and supported me during those 4 years

@BrettSmithProf @THIS_Institute Thanks Brett. Was nice to see our article highlighted. Writing that with you and the team was a highlight for sure.

[Oli Williams @OliWilliamsPhD]

@cityalan @THIS_Institute Generous phrasing for sure. Though my thoughts do tend to lead me into trouble so it's at least half right. How are you after last night - got the heart rate stablised yet? Unreal.

[Oli Williams @OliWilliamsPhD]

@GemmaBale @THIS_Institute @JacquesCarolan Thanks for the love Gemma, too kind. Always happy to chat Jacques 👍
