I've just attended Zubeda Khatoon's excellent session regarding reaching the 'not so hard to reach' ethnic minorities @BDCFT
I'm astounded by Zubeda's work; the consideration she has put in to getting underrepresented voices included in research.
May she inspire us all! #RDF24

[Eleanor Melvin (she/her) @dramatherapy_EM]

I would love to connect with anyone about...

-embedding clinicians in NHS research teams

-engaging mental health clinicians in research.

#RDF24 has been fabulous so far.

Such a variety of topics, particularly pleased to be sat waiting to hear about how the whole sector can commit to public involvement in health and social care research.

Come and join my team- looking for RAs for the Sleeping Better Study: randomised controlled trial testing the effects of treating sleep difficulties in patients at ultra-high risk of psychosis and patients diagnosed with non-affective psychosis.
Let me know if you're interested!

Today was marvellous 🔥
Such a joy to connect, inspire, and be inspired by other AHPs at varying points in their research journeys.
There's space for everyone's voices, and I'm all ears!
