Thank you to members of Praboromarajchanok Institute for Health @Ha_hAeng visiting Northumbria Uni for sharing your lunch with us today. We hope that the social work simulation we demonstrated last week was something you can share when you go home to Thailand @SocialWorkNU

We're super excited to share our TV advert! Stroke changes lives in an instant, but the brain can adapt. And so can you. We’re here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. Share your story of how your stroke felt - #RebuildingLives: strk.org.uk/2Dkf9GW

Colleagues in Africana #medhums, please share this far and wide. This practitioner database will help bring visibility to African scholars/artists working in #medicalhumanites, but also adequately match projects & initiatives w/ expertise across Africa goo.gl/forms/SS6UgAYm…

Around half the UK are 'ambivalent or uninterested' in their rights. This animation is just for them! 👇

We've just finished a round of BIA Refresher workshops exploring the LPS and collecting data on how currently practising BIAs view them. Here's a fantastic summary overview on LPS from the ever-insightful @Capacitylaw

If we limit our reading to material published in the last 5 / 10 years we do not permit the accumulation of knowledge or we force ourselves to rely on contemporary reinterpretation of seminal works. Sometimes, but not always. @HSciences @We_UoS_Nurses

I'm really pleased to be involved in the BASW (DHSC funded) steering group on the development of capabilities statement and professional development pathway for Social Workers working with autistic adults in England.

Wow! Who wouldn’t want to walk to and from work or anywhere else for that matter when the scenery looks like this! #LetsMove #flourishatnewcastlehospitals #ItsCannyUpNorth

We are currently running systemic practice simulations with qualified social workers. Wanted to share the flexibility of the knowledge exchange hub at Northumbria University. One day a hospital setting and the next I am setting up a kitchen and living room area.

A very warm welcome to everyone starting their initial BIA training at Northumbria University today! In this time of change it's more important than ever to be grounded in rights-based, person-centred practice. We're really looking forward to working with you all 😊

@NorthumbriaDASH @Lifecast_Body @NorthumbriaNHS @ASPiHUK @NEsimulation It was not long ago, I was asking why we didn't have older manikins, then I saw some of the lifecast bodies. Really pleased we will have Vivian, to use in our simulations.

We're very proud of our @UNNSW and @felloutofbed - their first book is available now and @SAGEsocialwork has just commissioned them to write a second!

Launch day for #Melissa! This mobile training bus will provide clinical training where it is required. Proud to have been involved in the project and looking forward to seeing it in action 👍🏼🚌 @MADEinHEENE

Great facility, looking forward to turning this space into a range of living settings for social workers to collaborate with other professionals and develop more social work simulations.
