So chuffed to have been involved with this research. Living with MLTC’s is hard work and should be acknowledged. The lines of work aren’t static, they ebb and flow with the individual depending on their context. People living with MLTC’s aren’t a homogenous mass. 1/

I missed you but was definitely thinking of you when I used your “hot mess” analogy! 🤣
I am great and enjoying life living on the coast.

Such a great conference this year. The venue was fab and the organisation was spot on. I really enjoyed all the sessions I went to and the interesting discussions and insights shared. Looking forward to next year in Manchester.

Hearing that it’s all about relationships, speaking truth to power and being agile with evidence. Also the importance of co production and understanding what the need is. #HSRUK25

Great thread from @marionkcampbell.bsky.social, here’s hoping this becomes mandatory as it’s an ethical imperative.👇 The COVID Voices approach to sharing results, I personally won’t participate in research that doesn’t offer to share results, why would anyone?

If you collect feedback from patients and don’t involve them in deciding what changes are needed and implementing them you are doing it wrong.

It’s a small world! We moved here from Scotland last year and are loving it. Quality of life is excellent and the people are canny.

Gorgeous day on the coast at Whitley Bay. Feel so lucky to live here!

Interesting article with many good points. It’s disappointing that it labels some communities as “hard to reach” potentially putting the blame on them, when in actuality they are underserved.

Were people offered payment to co produce? I am a little confused by the repeated references to “volunteers”, how does that promote equality?

Lynn Laidlaw @lynnlaidlaw.bsky.social · Jan 29

Me too!
