I have spent 18 years working in the IBD clinic - Tuesday mornings as a fellow & trainee (2003-9); Thursdays as a consultant (2010-present).

This has given me a critical long-term perspective on the very nature of Crohn's disease & UC.

Here are FIVE lessons on IBD care.

The research into ⁦@ScotClimateCA⁩ continues. See our interim data briefings which supported continuous improvement throughout the Assembly. Now we start to focus on the impact of the Assembly and how the media, the public and decision makers respond https://t.co/UeGnMgWTY0

[Nick Bland @nrcbland]

And the research to evaluate and learn from #ScotClimateAssembly continues into the autumn, when we will report. We will be looking increasingly at the impact of the assembly report and recommendations over the next six months.

Great to see @WFD_Democracy include #deliberativedemocracy as part of POW. Here are a series of reports on mini-publics and parliaments looking at cases from the @ScotParl and @UKParliament co-authored with @carrickprojects and @ZohrehKhoban: https://t.co/8PSe89MrTp

Some exciting Personal News, as they say — @catherinebray and I have created a new site! https://t.co/63R8XSUrdz — one new film recommendation a week and how you can watch it. That's it, that's the site.

One of the best things about working w the Scottish Citizens' Assembly has been getting to know new @scotgov colleagues. Huge congrats to @evelynrcook Dr Bowes as she heads off on leave. We'll do our best not to mess up all your hard work!
