Very excited to have been invited to Teesside University tomorrow to be a keynote speaker at their Equity in Neuropsychology conference! Will be speaking about the importance of understanding Brain Injury in the context of Domestic Abuse.

I certainly don’t expect gifts from my advisees. But it’ll be hard to beat this one.

[Dr Pip @PsychologistPip]

Me day 1 of the week I've taken off placement solely to write my thesis. Going strong.

@ClinPsy The qualitative comments in the handbook speak volumes

Please share if you are able 😊

Seen a shocking number of these guides about, even from trainees who've only been on the course a matter of weeks. Totally inappropriate to take advantage of people's desperation. Similar post in the DClinPsy applicants FB page from Tuesday with other resources.

Sorry Mike

If you're working with a client with dementia please encourage carers to set up the Herbert Protocol. Last night my gran went AWOL & police mobilised right away. Dad & I thankfully found her and @WMPolice officers Jordan & Tom handled her so gently & helped get her home 👏👏

@Karolina_Kalisz It was rough for a little while! Thankfully Edinburgh have been really supportive throughout and I'm just about getting back to being able to function again.

[Dr Pip @PsychologistPip]

In the space of the last two months I have experienced: a nasty back injury that causes me pain every single day, a family member's dementia worsening rapidly, my placement supervisor upping and leaving overnight in the middle of my placement, and this morning my dog died.

[Dr Pip @PsychologistPip]

Today I managed to work on my thesis for the first time since February! 🎉
With burnout and competing academic demands, I just couldn't face it without breaking/shutting down.
Hopefully going to get myself back on track. Onwards and upwards!

[Dr Pip @PsychologistPip]

CAMHS ✅️
Definitely proud of this last placement. I've developed a lot as a Psychologist despite having some stupidly big curveballs thrown at me towards the end there.
Now officially halfway done with training 🎉
