How incredible is this 😍 Received this amazing surprise today... it’s an embroided tactile version of our 12 week baby scan, so for the first time as a blind dad to be, I’m able to build a picture of our baby scan through touch ❤️ Can’t describe how amazing this is 😍

I've been seeing a lot of discussion around the dosage gaps recommended by government for the Astra/Oxford & Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines. My thoughts on the potential benefits & risks of such an approach, and the need for much greater transparency around these decisions. Thread.

Utterly brilliant. Should be mandatory reading for all Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) grant holders. I’m only 6 years into my research journey in #Malawi and am acutely aware of how much I don’t know, despite much effort. @UofGIHW

6 days ago my brother died suddenly & unexpectedly while he was in inpatient mental health care. He was far too young to die. I am a swirling mix of grief. I am sad but I am also angry. Angry with a mental health system that repeatedly let my brother down.

I am grateful for the Pause our ICU nurse in charge conducted today after the death of a patient. Apparently the first one done on this Unit. Meaningful for all staff present. Interested to hear who else is doing this in their EDs & ICUs thepause.me/2015/10/01/abo…

Role play as a method to report group work!! We had lovely role plays today🙂

Very proud to have been involved in this study investigating kidney disease prevalence and how to measure it in Malawi, South Africa and Uganda 🤩

Putting myself out on a limb here... I'm a disabled public service leader. It's very rewarding, but it's also quite hard work leading while disabled in an ableist world. Who can relate? I'm thinking about a kind of informal network where we can share, learn & support each other.

Excited to be starting my Clinical PhD Fellowship today! Looking at the extent, causes and impact of dementia in a rural Ugandan community. Thanks to CREATE PhD Programme for the opportunity 🙏 KCL MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Uganda Research Unit
