A @gerisoc.bsky.social webinar on research integrity coming up 8th October. www.bgs.org.uk/25IRW

If you have an early idea for ageing research and want to talk to members of the public about it our PPIE cafes may be what you are looking for 👇👇

I'm offering #PPIE and #researchinclusion awards to help UK #AHPs #nurses and #pharmacists get started with their ageing research careers 👇👇

Great to see this from Ali Bingham, a #physio and one of my @vivensa.bsky.social funded PhD students @hls.exeter.ac.uk @penarc.bsky.social @thecsp.bsky.social @jufrost.bsky.social

Ali Bingham (1st Year PhD student) reflects on SAPC‑SW conference experiences, uncovering why allied health professionals still face barriers entering primary care research: tinyurl.com/yc4zznf2 @apexcomms.bsky.social, @hls.exeter.ac.uk, @uniofexeternews.bsky.social,@nihrspcr.bsky.social

As part of my @vivensa.bsky.social award, we are setting up #ppie cafes and some small PPIE funds #AHPs #pharmacists and #nurses can apply for to support developing their clinical academic careers with #olderpeople. Watch this space @penarc.bsky.social @gerisoc.bsky.social @thecsp.bsky.social

This week has involved lots of formal and informal mentoring with a wide range of people from different healthcare professions and in different parts of the uk. It's the most fulfilling part of my job but often the most undervalued by organisations.

Have a look at our blog on research inclusion and community rehabilitation @gerisoc.bsky.social @thecsp.bsky.social 👇

We support community-level change for older adults by funding projects that put communities at the heart of research and solutions. Read the full article here, the first part of our Positive Impact series: vivensafoundation.org.uk/award-holder... @housinglin.bsky.social #FundingForAgeingWell

🌟 Do you need a low-pressure conversation to help you think about your first or next steps in community rehabilitation research? Chat with a CRRN mentor. We have mentors at every stage of the research journey. researchmap.uk/mentors
