Happy to share the development, standardisation, and validation of the Mini - Oxford Cognitive Screen, a brief (<8mins) cognitive screen for chronic stroke survivors that is relevant for primary care settings. Now out Open Access in ESJ. @neledemeyere.bsky.social @eugeneyhtang.bsky.social

This registered report on the burning houses replication is now finally out in Cortex. One of few registered reports in neuropsychology, this project was accepted at stage 1 just before the pandemic and is now finally out. Commentary on the process to follow :) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Just because you don’t understand someone’s job doesn’t mean it’s bullshit, and it doesn’t mean it’s going to lead to the downfall of civilisation. For sure, some things can be done better. For sure, there are problems in our universities. But this isn’t how we address it. 3/

OPSYRIS has joined BlueSky! We are an organisation focused on promoting research on psychological outcomes of stroke with the aim of improving clinical practice. Learn more about us (and our upcoming conference 👀) on our website opsyris.org

Great to see this one out at last. OxVPS for screening perception problems after stroke. This was part of a @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social funded fellowship to @kathleenvancleef.bsky.social !

The BNS is delighted to present this first look at the 🧠 SPRING MEETING 🧠 2025 programme, and announce we've an 🚨 EXTENDED ABSTRACT DEADLINE (Feb 17th)! 🚨 All this great science for just a £15 registration fee. Or for free if your a BNS member. Visit www.the-BNS.org. #neuroskyence #psychscisky

First obituary of Eleanor Maguire Fitting that it comes from a neuroscience community publication. Very grateful to Calli McMurray for writing this lovely piece on who Eleanor was and what she achieved in her dazzling career:

Fantastic opportunity to join a great team - 8a Clinical Psychologist post in Lincolnshire's neuropsychology service www.healthjobsuk.com/job/v6843522

Just registered and great to see so many familiar people from the occupational therapy, stroke and neurorehabilitation and research communities.

Proud of this new paper from my @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social funded PhD providing an example of using the #BCW in the early development of a complex intervention to support conversations about recovery on the #stroke unit @auasresearch.bsky.social 👇👇👇 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

🚨 My team is hiring an undergraduate intern (UK universities only) - a great opportunity, if I can say so myself! Please share widely. Want more info? See here: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Hearing about L1 psychological support at #UKSF24. Hearing lived experience - “good psychological support lifts me up a bit, helps me to thrive. Bad psychological support can knock me down miles.” Words have a profound impact +everyone should have L1 Psych Support Training.

#UKSF24 Prof Terry Quinn - excellent presentation challenging the stroke community to “zoom out”… rather than focussing in, specialising too far and working in silos. Priorities - recognising multimorbidity, frailty awareness, social determinants, rehab and life after stroke.

#UKSF24 Opening Plenary - we are already hearing about @NHSEngland 10 Year Health Plan - one priority is to shift care from hospital to community. Our @UHD_NHS SQUIRE pilot focusses on just this:

I'm recruiting for my co-production workshops with health care workers involved in stroke and cognitive assessment at #UKSF24 If interested in helping out, please get in touch or grab me in the lobby today :) we hope to run these workshops in the new year.

“Physicians may assume they know what the person wants. With practice and training, they learn that until you ask, you can never really be sure.” 👉🏻 www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

The accuracy of PREP2 in predicting upper limb motor recovery decreased significantly when patients had cognitive disorders (MoCA score <24) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39162251/

Another great autumn edition of @britishneuropsych.bsky.social. Thanks to organisers and chairs. I had a great time presenting our Registered Report take on the Burning Houses study (stay tuned, paper out soon!) and catching up with #neuropsychology colleagues/friends.

PhD Alert! We have a fully funded (UK residents only, I'm afraid 😟) #NeuroSkyence PhD to move towards developing an at-home EEG system to monitor sleep oscillations for brain health monitoring and early dementia diagnosis. Please share with your network! www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvl...

Anyone here off to the @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social #UKSF24 next week? I'm looking forward to being part of a session next Tuesday on "Meeting the challenge of delivering neuropsychological support in stroke services" - hope to see you there!

Welcome to Stephanie Forkel @stephforkel.bsky.social One to add to the #neuroscience #aphasia and #neuropsychology lists out there. @neuropsychblog.bsky.social @asnrehab.bsky.social

A must-read resignation letter from Professor Dorothy Bishop whom the Royal Society is losing In order to keep the disreputable, divisive Elon Musk who was elected into Fellowship in 2018 (who knew) Not a good calculus, and not a good look for the Royal Society.

A shameless plug now that science Twitter has migrated to Bluesky: I'm on the (clinical academic) job market! If anyone is looking for an early career clinical neuropsychologist with expertise in lesion-deficit mapping, neuroimaging/tractography, and estim+behavior, please let me know!

Oxford scientist resigns from Royal Society over Elon Musk’s continuing fellowship

Loving this paper 'Rethinking barriers and enablers'. How many thousands of weak research studies have reduced complex change to 'identifying and addressing barriers and enablers'? Here's how to do better! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

I've only been working with the stroke community for a little over a year - each time, i'm struck by their passion, committment, and incredible dedication to supporting stroke survivors in their recovery. I want to start there because i think it would tell only half the story to talk about... 1/

We currently have the "share to Bluesky" option available on all of our article pages on tandfonline. Right now, you can find this in the full sharing pop up but more changes coming soon... #Academicsky #HigherEd

Declining standards of care for stroke patients must be reversed, says charity

We recently published this commentary with some of our views on post #stroke cognitive prediction research, which might be of interest to people here. Happy to discuss academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...

Lovely to see this from @willchegwidden.bsky.social on my first day on Bluesky. What a warm welcome!

Having spent less and less time on the other place ever since the namechange, looking forward to reconnecting with people here.
