Such an important point, this episode is a great listen for those thinking about a PhD or supporting clinicians in research.

Dr. Walter Flores highlights the researcher’s role as a mediator between Indigenous and academic knowledge systems, emphasising respect for different ways of knowing. How can we best navigate these differences for greater gains? 🎙️👂https://bit.ly/CCS_E78 #IndigenousKnowledge #GlobalHealth #Research

Dr. Lorenda Belone emphasises the importance of reflexivity in community research—recognising our lasting impact. How do you practice reflexivity? 🎙️👉Listen to the full episode here (or wherever you get your podcasts): bit.ly/CCS_E78 #GlobalHealth #Reflexivity #ResearchEthics #CommunityEngagement

Breaking down silos in health systems means rethinking whose capacities are strengthened for, & from, research. #PACTS supports diverse stakeholders to bridge the know-do gap. 🎙️👂👉https://bit.ly/CCS_E80 @lstmnews.bsky.social @syracuseu.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social #SickleCell

Research capacity strengthening (RCS) isn’t a one-off intervention—it needs to be embedded from the start and sustained beyond the project. In our latest episode, hear how #PACTS is doing just that: bit.ly/CCS_E80 #GlobalHealth #CapacityStrengthening @lstmnews.bsky.social @syracuseu.bsky.social

Clinicians often see just a snapshot, while distance, cost, or stigma block some from follow-up care. Our new mini-series shows how #PACTS builds cyclical research capacity, bridging knowledge to real-world impact for sickle cell disease. 🎙️👉 Listen: bit.ly/CCS_E79 @lstmnews.bsky.social #sicklecell

Local researchers can sometimes be limited to gathering data, not shaping research. Our new mini-series explores how #PACTS invests in research capacity strengthening to co-design and lead innovation. 🎙️👉👂Listen: bit.ly/CCS_E79 #GlobalHealth #SickleCell #HealthEquity lstmnews.bsky.social

New episode! Exploring how #PACTS uses participatory action cycles to equip clinicians with research skills, bridging the know-do gap for sickle cell care. Hear how local voices shape better outcomes across sub-Saharan Africa. 🎙️https://bit.ly/CCS_E79 @lstmnews.bsky.social @syracuseu.bsky.social

Research capacity strengthening fosters local leadership and bridges the ‘know-do’ gap for real impact. Our new mini-series shows how to embed RCS, featuring #PACTS as a real-world example. Listen to the 1st epsiode here: bit.ly/CCS_E79 #GlobalHealth #SickleCell #HealthEquity @lstmnews.bsky.social
