@clare_deary @DefenceResNet @szbench @RitaOlsbu It’s an honour Clare!

@DefenceResNet So far? Letting it sink in that I might actually be capable of real research. I’m blessed with a fab supervision team who give me the right blend of “tough love” and encouragement and I’m so grateful to them @szbench @RitaOlsbu @DrGrahamCable #DefResChat

Q4: What has been the most challenging aspect of your PhD journey? #DefResChat

We are looking for our last 50 responses. Every single one matters, if you are or know any med discharged UK AF veterans please complete or share @Cobseo_news @RBLI @TrevorCoultMC @VeteranCts @DefenceHQ @Gurkha_Brigade @gwtorg @JoannaLumleyUK @antonycotton @DrGrahamCable

Thank you to everyone sharing and liking this, especially those who complete eye survey. Every single response adds to the evidence we are pulling together which we hope will make a difference to this community whose voice really needs to be heard. @DrGrahamCable @RitaOlsbu

@Brockholme @MarkHar98405474 @VeteransUK_MOD I sincerely hope so Ian 🤞

@DrGrahamCable @MarkHar98405474 @VeteransUK_MOD If you’re optimistic Graham, then there’s real hope we can get away from the quagmire many of us have been stuck in with VUK for years. I won my case after 4 yrs but nearly 2yrs to pursue maladministration has drained me. Fingers crossed for positives to come.

TY @VeteransUK_MOD for clear & honest briefs today on yours & Armed Forces Covenant provision. Reassuring recognition that not all has been as it should, but real effort now to put individual veteran & their experiences front & centre, to ensure they are served effectively 👏

@MarkHar98405474 @Brockholme @VeteransUK_MOD Agree. Came away optimistic that positive intent & action is in place, & there is real momentum for positive change/improvement. Effective 1* leadership at the helm & political scrutiny all pointing to a more sympathetic/effective administration. Feel credit is therefore due.

@Brockholme @DrGrahamCable @VeteransUK_MOD I hope so Graham & I personally am prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt if they are now committed to making Veterans UK the organisation it always should have been for Veterans. The pressure from Veterans to achieve this and the gathering of evidence will continue.

Delighted to have followed & played some small part in newly minted Dr @TomKersey4’s success at viva today! So chuffed and proud of you Dr Tom. Today belongs to you and all your MASSIVE hard work (& your superb supervisors @happeehil @NickCaddick1) #PhDone 🎉

@Brockholme @a_ottaway @OpenUniversity This might help: vfrhub.com/wp-content/upl…

Gutted I didn’t get 1 of 50 @OpenUniversity Disabled Veteran Scholarships but, there’s always next year. If anyone knows of any other way of accessing further education, that enables folk such as myself, without saddling debt that would never be repaid, most grateful for help.
