Fantastic Creative Practice for health and science communications workshop today, run by the fabulous @drfigtree and @lskains …so of course there were Post-Its, stickers, coloured gems etc. A really useful morning with some great discussions on art and creativity in research

Fantastic webinar this afternoon on Working Effectively with Public Contributors chaired by @McGrathCarmel93 and rest of @ARC_West and so lovely to see all speakers were public contributors. Great to hear the perspectives from Alex and Ella from YPAG too.

So important to recognise that PPI doesn’t always run smoothly and to plan for that.

[NIHR Involvement @NIHRinvolvement]

Patient and public involvement has evolved quickly. We need systems, resources and support for when things go wrong.

A new project from @OxPrimaryCare and @arc_oxtv aimed to take the first steps towards addressing this: https://t.co/95w6yXbRg3

Really interesting morning listening to the exciting research going on in @hss_bu from fellow PGRs. Me in front of my poster on #publicinvolvementinresearch and how having a lived experience PhD supervisor adds so much depth to my study #PhDjourney #FHSSPGRConference2023

Fantastic webinar this morning from @VickyLShepherd et al. with some shocking statistics…90% of RCTs are designed in a way that excludes people with a learning disability
