@ImeldaBlack14 @Acta2Alliance @AorticDissectCT @RebeccaMiddle16 @LeicsVascular Done! Look forward to hearing more

📢 Welcome to the new Vascular Voice Network landing page! If you are an organisation or individual involved with vascular conditions then the VVN would love to connect with you 💚 vascularvoice.org @Acta2Alliance @AorticDissectCT @RebeccaMiddle16 @LeicsVascular

Future updates on the research I am conducting will be over on Blue Sky, find me there: bsky.app/profile/dresme…

🔍 How can we better support amputation patients—psychologically—before surgery? A new article by Dr Esmée Hanna explores the findings from a 4-year study into how patients are prepared for life after amputation, and how we can do better. 🙌We’re also excited to launch this piece as the first in our new Surgery for all content section—created for anyone with an interest in surgery, not just surgeons. 🧠 Insightful. Compassionate. Essential reading. 📖 Watch the findings video and read the article: bjsacademy.com/bjs-academy/su… #SurgeryForAll #Surgery #AmputationCare #PreOpSupport @NIHRresearch @DrEsmee @PreAmp20

Interested in how patients can be better prepared for having amputation surgery? Want to know more about new free resources to support preparing patients who are having amputations? Please consider watching our short video to find out about our research and the resources!

All of the resources are available on our website: preamp.dmu.ac.uk and we would be delighted if you would consider sharing this to spread the word far and wide so that those who would benefit from them will be able to access them

The PreAmp study is now complete. Shortly we will be sharing what we found and launching the co-designed resources we made. Here's a reminder of what we have been doing. If you would like to receive our findings and learn more about the resources do let us know!

@ImeldaBlack14 @LeicsVascular @uniofleicester This is so helpful and timely!!! I will be in touch soon as need some PPI for a grant I'm developing- what an amazing resource!

What is the UK Vascular Research PPI Registry, and how does it all work? See below for our FAQ sheet for researchers! @LeicsVascular @uniofleicester

@jill_cundell @limblessassoc @hellsbellsm @FYF_charity Shocking that patients are being treated in this way :-(

New paper from the @PreAmp20 team published in Qualitative Health Research today. It explores the experiences of amputees before surgery. Available open access here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

If you are a Healthcare professional working with patients with Peripheral Artery Disease, you can help us improving the research in PAD by participating in a focus group as part of developing Core Outcome Sets in PAD.

@hellsbellsm @jill_cundell @jeandaly55 Thanks Helen. We have another paper about preparing patients from interviews with amputees coming out soon- will share once its published :-)

@jill_cundell @hellsbellsm @jeandaly55 Thanks for sharing Jill, much appreciated :-)

Our vascular research PPI lay person advisory group has done an amazing job at building a brand and giving their input on accessible information materials for the vascular research PPI registry. They're all stars! #PPI @LeicsVascular @UoLCVS

As part of @GM_PSRC we're researching experiences of speaking up about patient safety for minority ethnic staff. If you're an NHS frontline healthcare worker, any profession/role, who identifies as minority ethnic, we would love to interview you - see the poster to find out more!
