🚨New blog: Break the Barriers!🚨 For my PhD, my lived experience partners & I are co-producing research to address #racism in maternity care for Black families in NW London, and we want to share our journey! 🔗 First post + subscribe: bit.ly/3Hw2If4 #BlackMaternalHealth #coproduction #healthequity

On this #WorldHealthDay the @who.int focuses on the health of mothers and babies.

✨My essay in @thelancet.bsky.social this week has made the front page!✨ (I didn’t know about this 🤗) ‘Reflect, Collaborate and Listen’ looks at why doctors don’t listen and the urgent need to rebalance the power dynamic in the patient - doctor relationship. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Fantastic editorial responding to my 1st PhD paper on importance of embedding community co-production to address ethnic inequities in #maternity care. Communities have unique & important perspective of health services. Together we are greater than just the sum of our parts. #medsky #academicsky

Thanks to @imperialbrc.bsky.social for supporting my PhD work using #participatorymethods & #coproduction to tackle ethnic inequities in #maternity care. My 1st study shows how we can work with communities to set #QI priorities👇🏾 qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/earl... #academicsky #medsky #PhDsky

Are maternity & #publichealth teams on the same page w/ communities when reducing ethnic inequities in maternity experiences? My 1st PhD paper tries to answer this question in partnership with Black families in West London. #academicsky #matexp #medsky #QIsky doi.org/10.1136/bmjqs-2024-017848 1/

I’m hoping to set up a blog to share progress & findings about my PhD research, and mine and my community partners experiences to encourage others to get involved in research. Can anyone recommend any free blog sites that have good UX and are visually accessible? 🙏🏽 #scicomm #academicsky #PhDsky

So well said 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽 Data curation and what gets measured is a calculated choice by those that have more power and agency societally, we still have a long way to go to make sure we are not leaving people behind as data federation, #bigdata and #AI convos continue to rapidly expand.
