Based on my experience as a vaccinator yesterday - use Facebook and social media - most of the younger people I met had found out about the (walk in) clinic because their mum/dad/friend saw it in Facebook and told them to come. Most often it was Mum!

I had forgotten all about this gem of a video about #coproduction until reminded about it this morning by Roisin Reynolds. Make yourselves a cuppa and spend 6 minutes of your life watching this little beauty #parableoftheblobsandsquares #PCCA youtube.com/watch?v=eJDO1r…

It might take time but a major study now funded built on work done in GM CLAHRC arc-gm.nihr.ac.uk/projects/remot……Very proud of the ongoing impact of a great team!

Accessing primary care and the importance of ‘human fit’: a qualitative participatory case study bjgp.org/content/early/… Research showing the nuances of 'access' to a GP is so welcome. I think we need to develop a whole new skillset to understand how we get the 'best fit'.

New paper - evidence that the redistribution of tasks from GPs to non-GP practitioners introduces new layers of complexity and requires adjustments at organisational and individual level doi.org/10.1177%2F1355… with Imelda McDermott @mhoraggoff @damian_hodgson Anne McBride, KathCheckland

Our Research Grants team have been grafting behind the scenes to make some big changes. Hear from Katherine Rooke, our Research Grants Manager in this post about our new funding schemes and the changes we’ve made to our grant review process. alzheimers.org.uk/for-researcher…

We were told they were stopping my mum’s because she has carers … regardless of whether the carers are permitted to administer from individual boxes … or whether mum has capacity to administer herself (which she doesn’t). Were told the NHS had stopped funding Boots to do this
