To all my colleagues that love Lisbon, and to to the ones that don’t know it…
Submit an abstract and come join us in October 12-13 ! @associacaoapes 🇵🇹
The first step in a clinical trial is deciding the #ResearchQuestion. Knowing which question is most important to focus on may not be clear cut. An interesting paper was recently published which developed a tool to rank the importance of research questions 1/7

The world would be a better place if governments had a more experimental mindset.
But there are barriers to overcome - not least, public buy-in. By me in the Observer

Excited to be a part of @reformthinktank new programme to link the research and policy worlds - vital in solving the societal problems we all face
Even more excited that @imperialcollege's own @__drodrigues@TmRawson @bermudez_jp_ are in the first cohort!
A new report produced by @Imperial_PSTRC and Centre for Health Policy at @Imperial_IGHI explores progress and identifies areas for improvement in #PatientSafety nationally, based on analysis of publicly available data https://t.co/zzAoKRhHSB 🧵
Curious about methods to assess & enhance generalizability, or wanting code for study design (sample selection) or analysis?
Check out our new website! Includes key literature and software.

Learning or teaching #causalinference?
✨ Here are some highlights from our new causal inference glossary ✨
This would've been a lifesaver when I first started wading through the dense and impostor-syndrome-inducing causal inference lit

Without enough GP appts to meet 2/52 'expectation' we need to focus on fair access & prioritise those with greatest needs.'Triage' systems for doing this are a mixed bag - working well for some/irritating others. My new blog looks at how to improve triage https://t.co/IUNuoXVuTf
@EmorieBeck How to choose the ideal size of an image and export it with high quality. Also I don’t seem to find much information about alternative software to Illustrator if one wants to combine images afterwards.
🚀 What do you think the best written econ paper you've ever read is? 🚀
PLEASE submit it here. Mixtape Sessions is trying to make a catalog of > 100 awesome papers folks can look through to inspire their writing

Previous research has used PROMs to assess care for patients undergoing elective surgery. Here we extended this work to chronic conditions. This is joint work with @andrewdstreet MJ Santos @AnaMRodrigues76@jmarquesgomes@helenacanhao
Our reflection @IntJEpidemiol on creating DAGs w/ domain experts for HSR highlights how involving stakeholders, instead of having DAGs solely based on researchers’ understanding of the literature, can result in a more robust & realistic causal model https://t.co/rhxK2Etdje
In this article, we examine how a formal process of triage using an (online) platform that captures all patient requests, including those made in person & by phone, could benefit patients and practices
Could triage of all patient requests in general practice help practices manage demand with limited resources?
Daniela Rodrigues and colleagues discuss 👇

🆕 In a @bmj_latest paper published today, IGHI's @__drodrigues @bcdelaney1 and Erik Mayer argue that triage of all patient requests in general practice could help practices managing demand with limited resources.

What does 'average England' look like? Here are the median places in England using the index of deprivation and its individual domains - and and what they look on Google streetview.
Inspired by @thomasforth's thread on median income areas

@matthammerton@annalise2406@MustBeMistry I see Lisa, maybe only if admin staff is considered a health or care professional under the more general definition of appointment above.
@matthammerton@annalise2406@MustBeMistry Your scenario might be covered by the more general definition: To ensure consistency in counting actual appointments, the following definition has been agreed: “discrete interactions between a health or care professional and a patient, or a patient’s representative”.
