Ok #FESN2025 is over! As always, my favourite mainland European conference. My main goal is to make new connections, meet up with existing connections, and get my work out there. This year I presented the Mini-OCS, which is now fully out there for use with chronic stroke survivors in English..

Today, September 1st 2025 marks the first day for data collection for the Multistage Cognitive Screen - Stroke (MCS-Stroke) project funded by the Stroke Association (see lnkd.in/eiKHWE4p). This is a huge step for my project which will validate the MCS-Stroke. Find out more on my LinkedIn post.

Ahead of next weeks Federation of the European Societies of Neuropsychology (FESN) conference in Leipzig, Germany, see our poster showcasing the Mini-Oxford Cognitive Screen. The screening tool is now available for licensing and use. We think it best suits primary care settins with chronic stroke.

🎉 Huge congratulations to Sam Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social on receiving the Rising Star Award at #OPSYRIS2025! 🌟🏆✨ A fantastic achievement recognising your outstanding contributions in stroke research. 🧠👏 #RisingStar #StrokeResearch

Two grant rejections this week - onwards and upwards! #Reality #Research

Co-production workshops done for the week - such an exceptional experience to hear from a diverse range of healthcare professionals to inform development of our new cognitive screen. Now to decode all of the feedback and make changes!

Count down 15 minutes (!!) for my first allied health professional workshop as part of my postdoctoral fellowship funding by the Stroke Association to co-produce a staged cognitive screening tool for stroke.

This academic year, I have submitted two of my first ever NHS ethics applications (one commercial one non-commercial). How different the process is depending on whos paying! First REC meeting today, wish me luck :)

Last push for this, as we approach the end of Jan and these workshops are taking place in Feb :)

Dr Sam S. Webb@drsamswebb.bsky.social · 2y ago

Are you a neuropsychologist or clinical psychologist involved in stroke care (rare, I know!)? We could really use your help developing a new cognitive assessment platform on an app - please get in touch if interested :) @donbps.bsky.social

Really quite exciting planning the next few months co-production workshops and how we will get my new cognitive screening app platform off the ground running in next few years. More to come!

Never too much lab pride at the office. Next we will get t-shirts ;)

Epic talk by Prof. Martin James on the past, present, and future of stroke research. We are all responsible to be the future leaders in stroke research and implementation. #UKSF24

I'm recruiting for my co-production workshops with health care workers involved in stroke and cognitive assessment at #UKSF24 If interested in helping out, please get in touch or grab me in the lobby today :) we hope to run these workshops in the new year.

First day at #UKSF24 great talks on co-design and how to facilitate communication to aid mental capacity assessments

Very much looking forward to speaking in this #UKSF session next week and sharing my thoughts on the methodological future for efficient stroke trials. Just need to squeeze that huge topic into 15 mins and finish off my slides! 😂

I'll be at #UKSF24 too, see you then

Cat Ford@strokepsych.bsky.social · 2y ago

Anyone here off to the @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social #UKSF24 next week? I'm looking forward to being part of a session next Tuesday on "Meeting the challenge of delivering neuropsychological support in stroke services" - hope to see you there!

We recently published this commentary with some of our views on post #stroke cognitive prediction research, which might be of interest to people here. Happy to discuss academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...

Innovations and challenges in predicting cognitive trajectories after stroke

This scientific commentary refers to ‘Deep learning disconnectomes to accelerate and improve long-term predictions for post-stroke symptoms’, by Matsulevit
