Just popping up to share this again - do you have 15 mins free to complete some online questionnaires and help us to finally validate this new measure of compassionate healthcare in action? Shopping vouchers to win and also our eternal gratitude 🙏🏻 uniofbath.questionpro.eu/a/TakeSurvey...

So much good work on Co-production to digest here - what an amazing collection of learning and resources @coprocollective.bsky.social @nessbennett.bsky.social

This is the final study in the development of a new measure of how compassionate a healthcare appointment is and if you would consider taking part or sharing it I would be so grateful! We’ve been working on it for years! Shopping vouchers on offer too! uniofbath.questionpro.eu/a/TakeSurvey...

Been inspired by Suzi Ruffell the comedian, who takes toys when she goes away on tour. I have beanie baby with me on my overnight work trip so I can send photos to my son. Result is that I look like I have an emotional support animal, but I’m ok with that - he’s good company.

Here’s a beautiful blousy tulip to wish you a Happy Easter ✨🐣🥚 Also I’ve just sent out a newsletter - about being kind to ourselves and dressing up as a ladybird. 🐞 If you want to be on the mailing list for the next one you can sign up at www.lucymaddox.co.uk

Baba Ganoush is chilling and I have just written my first blog for ages psychologymagpie.com/2025/03/16/m... and sent out a newsletter (please subscribe at www.lucymaddox.co.uk/contact)

Happy to have my new rainbow lanyard from @uniofbath.bsky.social 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨

Finally got round to trying to use Bluesky/Twitter follower bridge to re-connect with people from there but it seems to only search for a fraction of the followers. Am I doing something obvious wrong? @kawamataryo.bsky.social

Congratulations @drjodaniels.bsky.social! Jo’s amazing work in Emergency Medicine has been recognised by this Honorary Fellowship. So well-deserved Jo! Well done!

Sounds like an interesting research project into the classification of “gifted and talented”:

A couple of lines from A Year To Change Your Mind in case helpful to anyone on #NYE - wishing everyone plenty of joyful moments in 2025 though ✨

Thanks for sharing this article I wrote on coping with Christmas @psychmag.bsky.social

Some exciting new posts at Bath Uni with a new centre focussing on researching youth mental health:

Had a great time at Psychology in Action event for A Level students today. Amazing questions from the students. I’ve got free resources which might be useful to A Level students curious about clinical psychology here in case of use to anyone following along: www.lucymaddox.co.uk/resources

Grim prison treatment of a vulnerable person leading to her death described here. This article is really sad, and highlights a clear need to consider mental health and neurodiversity in this setting and provide proper help. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

I’m on my way to deliver the first of a series of training sessions for staff on a mental health ward, aiming to reduce empathy-based stress. This is the start of the pilot study that is part of my NIHR clinical academic doctoral fellowship and I am so excited! (And a bit nervous!)

Can’t help wishing, whenever I read something like this about very expensive commercial space missions, that we spent this money on trying to make things better on Earth instead: www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

"If reading a certain book helped you through the toughest times in your life, the author of that book is also a part of your life." - Enjoyed this article from @aeonmag on writing about difficult experiences: psyche.co/guides/to-st...

Merry Christmas all! Hope it’s a lovely one ✨ And if it’s not - remember it’s just another day! ❤️

Accidentally channeling Big Bird with today’s tights

Ah the extra lie in from the clocks going back…. …which no 2 year old understood ever 👀 Morning!

Genuinely useful @guardian article on how to cope with sleep deprivation when it’s out of your control. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
