In case anyone couldn't make it, recording now available: youtube.com/watch?v=cxlAk2… Euan an excellent speaker, really enjoyed it. For me, topic highlights some very common issues when it comes to translating high-level national policy aims into implementable action. Have a look!

What does deprivation actually look like? It's not always obvious from the outside. Our new story compares two English towns - both highly deprived, but in very different ways. Explore the data Reese Green has visualised and the wider OPTIMA project ⬇️ gla.ac.uk/research/az/op…

My colleague Reese shares how she led some amazing public engagement for our OPTIMA project — using LEGO to build better, healthier neighbourhoods. Check it out! 👇 #PublicEngagement #PublicHealth #UrbanDesign #LEGO gla.ac.uk/research/az/op…

Our @HOPE_UoM colleagues recruiting a health economist/quant researcher to work on evaluability of a large place-based intervention (20-min neighbourhood) with potential health (inequality) impacts. Come work with us on OPTIMA! gla.ac.uk/research/az/op… jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

Looking forward to getting our @NIHRresearch OPTIMA project involved in @GlasgowSciFest . We'll be at the Byres Community Hub on Sat 7th then the Botanic Gardens on Sun 15th. Come see us, we'll have Lego! gla.ac.uk/events/science… gla.ac.uk/events/science… gla.ac.uk/research/az/op…

Delighted to present the final report for our DIPLOMA evaluation of the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme. A true team effort - thanks to everyone who helped along the way TL;DR prevention at scale is viable, with plenty of scope for optimising further #full-report" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">journalslibrary.nihr.ac.uk/hsdr/published…

First webinar linked to our OPTIMA project (gla.ac.uk/research/az/op…) will be looking at the 'The Planning System in Scotland', Euan Leitch @SURFscot - (Feb 5th): events.bookitbee.com/university-of-… What levers does policy have to implement '20-minute neighbourhoods' and any health impacts?

Our first @NIHRresearch OPTIMA project's blogs are now live. We discuss the '20-minute neighbourhood' and health (inequalities), both potential benefits: gla.ac.uk/research/az/op… ; and potential harms: gla.ac.uk/research/az/op… @UofGSHW @theSPHSU

'Can integrated care interventions strengthen primary care and improve outcomes for patients with chronic diseases? A systematic review and meta-analysis' link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Missed this before the winter break? Take a look at our latest policy scoping review published in @PubHealth_BMC⤵️ How could 20-minute neighbourhoods impact health and health inequalities? 🌳🚶‍♀️ Read here: doi.org/10.1186/s12889… #20MinuteCities #HealthInequalities

Despite all of the challenges - legal and meteorological - we did it! After 40 years of damaging deregulation, Greater Manchester has this morning successfully retaken control of the whole of its bus network. 🙌🏻

This article is one of the foundations for our recently funded @NIHRresearch grant, Orienting Policy Towards Inequality Minimising Actions (OPTIMA). Have a look at what we now have planned to try and fill some of these identified evidence gaps: gla.ac.uk/research/az/op…

Our article looking at 'How could 20-minute neighbourhoods impact health and health inequalities?' is available Open Access now. Lots of health/health inequality claims, but still a lot of question marks on the pathways remain... @theSPHSU @PubHealth_BMC doi.org/10.1186/s12889…

There's more great news! Yuqi Zhang passed her PhD viva yesterday, with her thesis titled: "Strengthening primary care and integrated care for patients with multi-morbidity in China". Yuqi was supervised by @lra_ansel @DukeStokes @Bowercpcman & Jin Xu (from Peking University)

Really enjoyed the session, thanks for the invite!

Several @SipherC colleagues involved in this cool new project on systems science approaches to evaluating 20 minute neighbourhoods - with our funding period approaching the final 6 months, it is great to see SIPHER’s reach and legacy!

Read more about the project via the @NIHRresearch : fundingawards.nihr.ac.uk/award/NIHR1603… Our project website coming soon. Get in touch with me if you're interested and want more info, or maybe to be involved in some of our upcoming stakeholder or public involvement activity!

We'll be bringing together literature, stakeholders, data, real-world evidence, and building a computer simulation model. All to inform planned place-based '20-minute neighbourhood' investments, to maximise potential benefits and avoid unintended harms to health inequalities...

Excited to be officially starting on our NIHR-funded OPTIMA project today, 'Orienting Policy Towards Inequality Minimising Actions (OPTIMA): A systems science approach to 20-minute neighbourhood policy and evaluation' ...
