The current environment is making it near impossible to run clinical trials in the UK. One key issue discussed in @brain1878.bsky.social is the duplication - or worse - of regulatory oversight at NHS hospitals & universities. My views on how to change the system academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

Brilliant talks #worldsleep2025! Great to hear @luceylab.bsky.social - neurodegeneration, ageing and sleep.

ABN clinical research fellowships - great opportunity for budding academic neurologists! cdn.ymaws.com/www.theabn.o...

‘Exodus’ of clinical researchers sparks concern over future of UK healthcare in @financialtimes.com today. Lots of change needed.

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

We can always try to improve how we conduct trials and how we ensure that the most important people have a say in how they are designed and run. For the AD-SMART platform and #dementia research, Ben Underwood is doing just that with POPPED. Please take a look at www.popped.org.uk and do share!

JOB ALERT FOR NEUROLOGY TRAINEES. On www.oriel.nhs.uk now. Academic Clinical Lecturer post in Dementia & Neurodegeneration @imperialbrains.bsky.social. Research can cover any aspect of the above. Please repost and feel free to contact me if interested (am at ABN SIG meeting today).

🎉New paper released 🎉 Do you work in mild cognitive impairment or dementia research? You might want to check out our new paper on how we're developing a core outcome set for research into mild cognitive impairment: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/1... @proflizcoulthard.bsky.social

Very similar situation for us - waiting times are now just over 6 months (down from a year) and we are trying to catch up. Terrible, but maybe improving if we can keep staff. Thanks for highlighting/sharing.

Come and join us in Bath/Bristol working on an NIHR-funded EEG/cognitive impairment project in a memory clinic. www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy...
