More media coverage of the publication of our police custody healthcare end of project report. Again, this coverage draws attention to our finding about the risks of delayed and denied medications within police custody. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yay, united again. UK side this time. Great start to the trip so far and lots more interesting policing discussions still to come. 😊🥳
Great to catch up again with @proflaylaskinns.bsky.social, Abi Dymond and Andrew Wooff in Scotland this week to talk about #policing, #research, and #sausagerolls. (And it's nice to have a break from the hot Melbourne weather). Looking forward to Sheffield, Cambridge and London next week.
