I’m so honoured and absolutely still in shock that @happysmilescic won last night at the @ndawards.. from over 90,000 nominations and in a room full of incredible, deserving people! 😱🏆

Another great meeting on Saturday, when we continued working on the value of children's time study.

We worked hard but also had some fun.

We worked hard on Saturday with @l_andronis researcher, discussing health economy.

A big shout-out to all @GenrYPAGs, especially our local @YPSGWMids who've been an asset and a great partner in research 'for young people by young people'! Look them up here: generationr.org.uk @NIHRresearch @NIHRcommunity @HealthEcon_WMS

We are back for 2024, and we look forward to all getting together tomorrow, to look at an interesting research project about the value of YP's time, an important topic, especially at the start of mental health week.

It’s #TimeToTalkDay! ⌚️💬 The perfect opportunity to talk about #MentalHealth. 📚 My second book, ‘My Uncle Has Depression’ aims to start the conversation between children, friends and families. Check it out here: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/my-unc… @MindCharity @Rethink_ @coopuk

If anyone is able to share this opportunity or participate in this research about children taking part in research that has ended early the research team would really appreciate it. Contact details below.

#WorldChildrensDay - as we celebrate World Children's Day I feel so privileged to have worked with so many amazing and inspirational young people, who are really making a difference in research

Today is #WorldSepsisDay. Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to an infection. It happens when the immune system overreacts to an infection and starts to damage the body’s own tissues and organs. It can be hard to spot, so get clued up on the symptoms. ⤵️

Primary care HCPs and AHPs, we'd love to hear your views on MSK pain in children and young people! We're organising online focus groups on 27th and Friday the 29th of this month. Please get involved and/or spread the word! @KeeleUniversity @VersusArthritis @NIHRresearch

Good Luck to all the young people today getting their exam results.
