Just love the purple carpet in the woods.. think this may be my favourite time of year

First tulip we've grown in our little garden. After days of (im)patiently waiting, it's finally bloomed. Proud of this little beauty!

Today was the last meeting of the Work Together Project, following 6 months of working with our South Asian stroke survivor and carer collaborators to understand how we can better support participation in research. Grateful to all involved.. We've learned so much, now to put it into practice!

📣 Calling all Early Career Researchers postdocs! Help the Action Research on Research Culture @cambridgeuni.bsky.social project to better understand and alleviate the precarious nature of fixed-term contracts. Survey takes 10-15 mins: redcap.link/ECR_job_pref For further info:

Looking forward to talking to a group of Year 5s for #ScienceWeek about stroke research. It's great to share how science helps people and hopefully inspire some future researchers! #StrokeResearch

A beautiful afternoon out on the snowy moors makes up for all the stress caused by this week's icy weather!

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...

Looking for people to join our stakeholder group to develop a core outcomes set for trials of interventions designed to treat/prevent psychological problems post-stroke! You may have spotted this slide in @amandafarrin.bsky.social's talk at #uksf24 this morning...

Collaboration with those with lived experience has been a big theme of #uksf2024.. if you're interested in seeing how this might work, do check out our poster around #coproduction of an intervention to support stroke unit staff to discuss recovery with stroke survivors and their families 👇👇👇

Some truly inspirational talks at the UK Stroke Forum Day 2! Key learning so far around: ➡️High prevalence of sleep difficulties and their association with worse outcomes ➡️Potential benefits of solution focused brief therapy for ppl with aphasia ➡️Emphasis on lived experience throughout #uksf24

#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.

Martin James discusses the glacial process of both accumulation and implemention of stroke evidence. Highlights importance of qualitative research to understand barriers to implementation. Accelerating implementation Is all our business! #uksf24 👇👇

Together we can achieve more. Great streamline for today’s #codesign session at #uksf24 #personalisation #livedexperience #respect @choclit.bsky.social

Loving the emphasis on involving people with lived experience at the #ukstrokeforum when developing healthcare interventions. It has such a powerful impact - why wouldn't we involve those who are the experts in their condition?

First up on my #uksf24 agenda for today is co-hosting a table @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social's Research World Cafe session! Come and join us - we'd love to hear your thoughts about recruitment and retention and how the Stroke Association might support it #ukstrokeforum2024 @auasresearch.bsky.social

On the way to Liverpool for the #ukstrokeforum and looking forward to sharing my first conference musings on @bsky.app! Looking forward to finding out what's up and coming in #stroke research and hearing some inspiring stories from lived experience speakers! www.stroke.org.uk/professional...

Welcome to bluesky @auasresearch.bsky.social! Find out more about our past and current research here 👇👇👇 ageingstrokeresearch.org

Great to be at the Research Impact & Engagement awards this evening, celebrating the impact of @universityofleeds.bsky.social research! Our project coproducing an intervention support stroke unit staff to discuss recovery is nominated for an emerging impact in health award 🤞🏻🤞🏻

All 8 of the funded projects will be sharing what they have learned about co-production and its evaluation, at the event we are hosting on Thursday 5th December. Book your ticket on Eventbrite: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/measuring-...

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....

All articles discussed will be open access (no paywalls). First, a detailed #coprodution process from Wray et al. (2021) who co-produced a self-management intervention for stroke survivors with aphasia WITH stroke survivors and family members. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

We've written a Researcher's Guide to Bluesky! It's a bit like all those other useful guides to Bluesky, but with several useful insights from University of York academics about using the platform, and we'd love it if it was reposted far and wide... >> blogs.york.ac.uk/library/2024... 🧵 below

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

Good morning. Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

Come join our team at the Academic Unit for Ageing & Stroke Research! Great opportunity for a Data Manager 👇👇👇 jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx...

South Asian people in the UK are more likely to experience #stroke but frequently underrepresented in research. Looking forward to learning how we can work collaboratively with this underserved group to design participatory research that meets their needs: ageingstrokeresearch.org/research-pro...
