Researchers from @CumbriaUni and @OpenUniversity are exploring the state of staff wellbeing within UK #ultrasound units. If you are a #sonographer in public and/or private sector, we would be grateful if you could spare ten minutes to complete the anonymous national survey below:

[Paul K. Miller @DrPaulKMiller]

Many thanks, @UKIOCongress, for being such excellent hosts to all of us in the substantial @CumbriaUni contingent. It’s been a splendid three days.

The launch of the new Clark’s Pocket Handbook for Radiographers @UKIOCongress, with co-authors @charles_sloane and Gail Jefferson. @CumbriaUni

Settling in at the @UKIOCongress in Liverpool, with the @CumbriaUni delegation. A record number of @UoCResearch papers being presented, and a keynote talk on Tuesday from our very own @LoreleiWaring.

[Paul K. Miller @DrPaulKMiller]

In full press as of today, some amazing work from my apparently twitterphobic colleague Julie Mawson, and the always-brilliant @LisaBoo99938666. Difficult times, but wonderful people with which to work. @RadiographyJour @UoCResearch @CumbriaUni https://t.co/wNjt5MXmX5

[Paul K. Miller @DrPaulKMiller]

New paper online today, and a first publication for my @CumbriaUni colleague Julie Mawson. She isn’t on Twitter, though, so this really is little more than an unabashed piece of self-promotion. @UoCResearch @SIMIResearch @CentreCrihs https://t.co/nYTs6YlcSp

[Paul K. Miller @DrPaulKMiller]

Do you exercise to music? If so, and you’re an adult currently/usually resident in the UK, researchers at @CumbriaUni would love to hear from you! The survey should only take a few minutes to complete (and even fewer to RT!): https://t.co/Vg7TfW84c1 #music #exercise @CentreCrihs

If you’re a CSP-registered physiotherapist in the UK, please consider filling this survey from one of our MSc students! #physiotherapy #research

[Nina Duxbury @NinaDuxbury]

I’m conducting my (ethically- approved) MSc project on the risk factors associated with back pain in UK-based physiotherapists. If you are a CSP-registered physio, I’d be really grateful if you could complete my survey. Please share! #physiotherapy #thecsp https://t.co/sDt7wh49KA

[Paul K. Miller @DrPaulKMiller]

A bit of policy impact, which is rewarding. The latest Society and College of Radiographers Clinical Practice Guideline on caring for patients with dementia in the UK leans explicitly on our 2019 paper in its recommendations. @SIMIResearch @UoCResearch https://t.co/xizloiPDg5

[Paul K. Miller @DrPaulKMiller]

If you are working in medical imaging and looking to develop a research profile, or you are a novice healthcare researcher looking to gain a bit of extra experience, this fractional position might be for you. https://t.co/uN01Ja0rpa @ultrasound @UoCResearch

[Paul K. Miller @DrPaulKMiller]

My partner and I have a #scrabble date scheduled after tea tonight. On an actual board! Whatever your idea of distraction right now, do be sure to observe the #WHO guidance on #mentalhealth, and try to get yourself away from the news bombardment for at least a few hours each day.

[Paul K. Miller @DrPaulKMiller]

If you work in UK medical ultrasound, public or private, we’d be very grateful if you could spare a few minutes to complete our short workplace wellbeing survey (details in the BMUS post). The findings could make a real difference. @UoCResearch #ultrasound @BMUS_Ultrasound #nhs

[UKIOCongress @UKIOCongress]

We're seeking volunteers to help at #UKIO2020 - great opp for students, early career radiographers & junior docs. You'll get free entry to the Congress, lunch & travel. Email [email protected] in less than 100 words to express your interest.

[Paul K. Miller @DrPaulKMiller]

Special mentions to Katie Kelly and @MabelBarclay, whose work while still undergraduate #radiography students at @CumbriaUni was instrumental in making two of the @UKIOCongress papers possible. #starstudents

[SIMI Research @SIMIResearch]

Well, I make that nine abstracts from various members of the @SIMIResearch group accepted to the 2020 @UKIOCongress in #Liverpool this June. Nice work everyone! @CumbriaUni @UoCResearch

[SIMI Research @SIMIResearch]

If you’d like to join us, just get in touch!

Many thanks to everyone who has helped disseminate the #ultrasound wellbeing-at-work survey! Don’t forget, you can keep in touch with our broader body of research here: https://t.co/uuOhlsHUoy

[SCoR Members @SCoRMembers]

On behalf of @CR_UK, the @UniKent are hosting a survey: Identifying and improving the capacity of health service staff to conduct research.

Society members are encouraged to respond.
