Had to get an Uber to the airport on Tuesday morning after the metro was a no-show. Landed back in the UK, dashed out of the airport, tried to change to a St James metro and… now I’m in an Uber again. At least Tyne and Wear Metro is consistent (= consistently delayed) 🙄

Experts call for urgent Government action as Fuse research shows that energy drinks are associated with increased risk of mental health issues in children & young people. New paper published today Public Health led by Fuse Associate Director Prof Amelia A Lake fuse.ac.uk/news/energydri…

Excited to see our paper published. This review provides evidence based information for stakeholders and will hopefully help to inform decision making around the ban of energy drink consumption among CYP.

Congratulations to everyone on this list, including one of my fantastic PhD students Cara Leavey. Great to see inspiring women at all levels being recognised here. Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all 🥳

This is not true - we’ve had to wait 28mins and people on the other platform have been waiting longer. Anyone trying to use Tyne and Wear Metro this weekend can claim a refund if they wait longer than 15mins: nexus.org.uk/metro/tickets/…

Day one of the #FuseConf24 Cornell University. Looking forward to learning lots about the promise of engaging the public in public health

This is a lovely - and very Dutch - way of representing the difference between equality and equity at #FuseConf24 🚴🏽

Great double act from Sheena and Emma Adams at #FuseConf24. Really important work involving some of the most marginalised and vulnerable populations.

Delegates at #EPH2024 may be interested in a special collection of IJQM that I’m guest editing with my colleagues Emma Adams and @StephanieO18. Submit your qualitative work for consideration by 20th Feb 2025. Find out more here: journals.sagepub.com/topic/collecti…

The title of the special collection is ‘The contribution of qualitative methods to addressing contemporary public health challenges’. Certainly lots of food for thought at #EPH2024 on challenges such as climate change, war/conflict, health inequalities, the economy, loneliness.

I’m proud to have led this evaluation and commissioned these beautiful illustrations from Enoki. Find out about the LEAP project and its evaluation here: nenc-healthiertogether.nhs.uk/resources/chil…
