Apparently, July 1st is Ignaz Semmelweis day. #ImpSci

#ImpSci colleagues and friends, please save the dates. The European Implementation Event 2027 will take place in Limerick, Ireland from June 14-16. More details to follow soon!

We are investigating whether two nationally-delivered implementation strategies improve outcomes for young adults with type 2 diabetes: www.linkedin.com/posts/nihr-r... @northumbriauni.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social

Niche query: Do some conditions and interventions not get researched because their names use up too many grant abstract characters? 😁

I am really looking forward to this! #ImpSci Ping @luciebd.bsky.social @balbers.bsky.social @shonah.bsky.social @hi-nenc.bsky.social @nihrarcs.bsky.social @maritahennessy.bsky.social @mollybyrneireland.bsky.social

At the wonderful IBTN conference. Great to be able to share our collaborative, embedded trials to improve care and outcomes for people with diabetes. @northumbriauni.bsky.social @diabetesuk.bsky.social @leedsctru.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social @ibtnetwork.bsky.social

Inequalities in care and outcomes is a theme running through #DUKPC. This morning hearing about impressive work to find ways to impact upon these inequalities from the UNBIASED team. E.g. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

It won't make the news, but... Leamington peregrines have laid a second egg. Live webcam here: www.warwickshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/peregrine#we...

If you get the chance, do listen to Hannah Spencer's victory speech, it's uplifting. youtu.be/q9RdexZSIq4?...

Struck by how many people are following a local by-election in the early hours. #gorton #denton

Very happy to be in Zurich discussing new developments in implementation science. I will be sharing our ongoing work on the Impact of an Intervention on Inequalities in Overprescribing - the 3i-o study tomorrow. #IMPACT2026 #ImpSci @au-primarycareuol.bsky.social @wy-icb-research.bsky.social

Dr Giulia Loffreda from @who.int calling for closer integration between policy, implementation and research in addressing non-communicative diseases (NCDs). Recommends extending embedded implementation research (IR) in health systems. #IMPACT2026 #ImpSci

How might a national organisation support changes that improve outcomes for young adults? #ImpSci Working in partnership, we are conducting a pragmatic trial with process & economic eval. We are using routine date and opt-out permissions to investigate two nationally-delivered interventions:

The increasingly hostile rhetoric shown towards migrants is deeply concerning. We urge all UK political parties to end this race to the bottom and instead celebrate the contribution of those from overseas. Without brilliant migrant nursing staff, our health & care services would cease to function.

Absolutely love this 🌳 Sign me up!

Deep down in the entrails of every large company, there is a single person copying cells from one spreadsheet onto another spreadsheet one by one and if they stop the company collapses #orgdesign

Lovely to be back in Belfast, albeit briefly.

Evening harvest #Warwickshire

Good evening #EastNeuk

East Neuk... in case it helps! 😍

I often think that if Peter Parker were bit by the wrong kind of spider he would have died of dehydration in a closet

ok there you go, here's my first draft

Our Vice Chancellor's Fellowship in Evaluation Methods in Health and Social Care will be appointed at Assistant or Associate Professor level. We welcome applicants from disciplines such as public health, social sciences, allied health, or health economics. work4.northumbria.ac.uk#en/sites/CX_...

Morning BlueSky can be a little grim... So here's my attempt to do justice to last night's sunset:

Bluebells with ears! 😍🦮😍

Easter bluebells 😍

Good morning! 🦮😍

#ImpSci 👀👇🏽

Lovely evening walk.

Another great contribution by Lucie Byrne-Davies and Jo Hart

We often use the terms internal and external validity in trials, but are we really clear what those terms mean? 1/9 #MethodologyMonday #114

Brilliant statement by @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social, starting with recognizing the human cost associated with abolishing NHSE. I know so many brilliant and dedicated NHSE staff who work tirelessly for patient safety and improved outcomes 1/

An important reminder to consider the content (active ingredients) within #ImpSci strategies at Future of Evaluation in Health & Social Care symposium @northumbriaideas.bsky.social @northumbriauni.bsky.social

Hearing about the Carrots-Sticks-Sermons typology of programmes from Ray Pawson scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=e... Thinking of ERIC & EPOC typologies of #ImpSci strategies

Reading speculation about polio vaccination. Thinking what this means for people, but also health care workers, #ImpSci and implementation practitioners.

A couple of lovely days in Bruges with @profemmaflynn.bsky.social

Do you know someone who might be interested in a PhD involving quality improvement, implementation science, health psychology and health economics? #ImpSci @theqcommunity.bsky.social

Calling all European healthcare implementation researchers! We're building the European Implementation Map to showcase healthcare-oriented research capacity in #ImpSci. Complete the European Implementation Research Survey to help shape this open-access resource: 🔗 implementation.eu/european-imp...

This is an excellent starter pack for anyone in #Medsky looking to follow all the national bodies who have now joined Bluesky. go.bsky.app/a2U8nw

Lovely morning. Freddie 🐕‍🦺 is even more pleased to see the snow than me...

First keynote for the 2025 European Implementation Event #EIE2025 confirmed. Professor Carl May will speak about the future of #ImpSci implementation.eu/eie2025-spea... - we are thrilled! #KnowledgeTranslation

So then, what's the correct verb for 'to put a message on BlueSky'?

Well-meant suggestion 😁: Complete your bio (where able) before following others. 🙏🏻 Background: Many came to this place to avoid faceless bots and trolls.

7. NHS Trusts vary in how they collect digital health data, mostly focused on clinical activity (less on clinical or health outcomes like patient-reported outcomes: chapter 3.1.11). EHRs often have vendor lock-in, and 10% of Trusts (10%) still don’t yet have an EHR at all (chapter 3.1.4).

Lots of useful info & thoughts about data sharing for health research 👇 I have found access to timely linked data is often a big factor in slowing both research progress & quantity improvement in healthcare. #ImpSci #QI

Lovely walk from Upton House. Views over the site of the Battle of Edgehill.

How should we describe randomisation to people when recruiting them to a trial? Simple little study, but useful for us all to think about how we do this - it is not just understanding that is important, we also need to consider the acceptability of the language we use. rdcu.be/dZGg1
