Grateful for the chance to share my journey of blending lived experience with research, and my reflections on trying to do impactful research as an early career researcher. Huge thanks to The Psychologist @psychmag for the platform!

Only 30% of pall care is NHS funded.
Given today's vote, @Keir_Starmer, will you least commit to dramatically increasing palliative care provision so that patients don't "choose" to end their lives because we don't give them the care that might make life worth living?
MPs voted in favour of passing the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill for E&W to the next stage of the Parliamentary process. We are still concerned that the Bill does not currently require a holistic assessment of unmet need See our response https://t.co/J1LRyCH9jU
Myself and @ElidaCena are hoping to organise a workshop on use of open-source equivalents to Nvivo software for qualitative analysis. Do I know anyone who might like to facilitate and would like a trip to Belfast? Recommendations also very welcome!
So far, I have really enjoyed speaking to six professionals who work with young people when their parent has cancer including therapists and support workers. We would love to speak to 4-6 more professionals so please share with someone or repost! 🎓
Are you living with cancer or caring for someone with cancer? We'd like to hear from you.
Come to the workshop & tell us how cancer care & research can be more inclusive & accessible to all. Register👉 https://t.co/jBCyhdrmM0

📢We have published new research today into the financial and employment impacts of unpaid end of life caring, carried out by @sheffielduni.
This research provides the first population-level estimates on the numbers of unpaid carers caring for a loved one with a terminal illness.

Anyone with experience or views on palliative care in NI has an opportunity to be heard and inform the outcomes of this Inquiry. Please consider responding and share,share, share...
Fix the care first. Fund palliative care properly. Give dying people the best possible chance of living well - please.
And then - once we’re confident people aren’t being driven by lack of care into premature suicide - revisit assisted dying in parliament with confidence. Ends/
Today we reflect on the heaviness of the world. Tomorrow we act.
Join us tomorrow 5pm to discuss fostering critical thinking in young people, and raising the voice of the next generation.

Looking forward to our Autumn Wellbeing Meeting this Saturday where we'll be hearing from both @CarersNI and the wonderful @HelenColemanQUB 🙌 If joining us please register in advance via [email protected] or phone 07568157450.
We are delighted to be welcoming @CarersNI to our Autumn Wellbeing Meeting. The role of a carer is all too often overlooked and yet they play a vital part in a patients care. We look forward to hearing helpful advice and tips on what support is available for carers.
