Race motto was run smart not fast. With training full of injuries I had so much doubt about running this, but I’m so proud of myself for getting to the start and giving it a go. The marathon is a tough beast, but showcases the tenacity of the human spirit ❤️ #ManchesterMarathon

So beautifully articulate, this shouldn’t be so refreshing to hear but I’m so glad to have @ashleyljames use her voice on national TV as an ally ❤️

About two years ago, ACP-UK began its campaign to protect the psychologist title. Now ACP-UK member Bradley Powell, working with the campaign group, has initiated this parliamentary petition. Please get behind the campaign and add your signature: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6588…

Today saw our 10 days of DClinPsy interviews draw to a close. We have met some amazing people over the last two weeks, well done to all of you who had an interview with us! #dclinpsy #teesside

@TheNewsAgents @GlobalPlayer @jonsopel @lewis_goodall This was an incredibly disappointing segment alongside comments that it would be reasonable to state a trans woman is a man without a sense of the transphobia. Would love to see you engage with trans people about this - their voice was missing whilst another was showcased.

Do we always need the force of law to police what society deems acceptable? Coming to @GlobalPlayer @jonsopel | @lewis_goodall

Such a powerful video and message about the role and influence of assumptions within systems and how they can significantly impact the lives of those with Down syndrome #AssumeICan

Really looking forward to meeting everyone over the next few weeks! ❤️

We continue to work hard on improving Equality, diversity and inclusion within our Doctorate in Clinical Psychology course. Check out our recent publication in the Clinical Psychology Forum, December 2023:

Today marked the last day of the DClinPsy for my 2020 cohort. What an unbelievable journey with a great cohort and staff group. So here we have a formulation of *qualified* Clinical Psychologists ready to go into the world

So proud of our trainees, such a range of important clinically relevant research conducted with compassion and great integrity and perseverance ❤️ . And I didn’t fall over once running around with the mic 🎤 (few near misses tho! 😂).
