Chuffed to see winners in two of the Categories of the #BIGSPD26 poster awards from people I have worked alongside. Michael Haslam Winner of the early career researcher award and Research Poster, also our E-Primed team winning the review/theoretical poster award 👏👏

My #BIGSPD26 silence is a reflection of how jam packed the days have been & how enthralled I was with it all. Now processing it & I will share my day 2 & day 3 experiences & reflections. What a great conference!! Always filling my cup (to steal the line from @elliewildbore.bsky.social 😊)

I'm both honoured and humbled to have won this year's BIGSPD ECR award AND the poster prize in the category of research/evaluation. It means a lot that people have voted for me and my work. Grateful also for the connections and conversations. #BIGSPD26

The Mental Elf@thementalelf.bsky.social · 2mo ago

We co-chaired (as a clinician & patient) a RCPsych Working Group, and for years we were the only pair with those roles doing this within the College. This has now changed. I think @bigspd.bsky.social were also the first national body to have Co-Presidents with lived & clinical experience #BIGSPD26

Next up we have @adjongh.bsky.social media hi will be exploring the effectiveness of brief trauma focused treatments for personality disorder #BIGSPD26

So proud of the E-PRIMED research team who excellently presented our research findings today at #BIGSPD26 @bigspd.bsky.social Commended by one delegate as being one of the most coproduced prison projects she had seen. Special thanks to funders at NIHR 3 schools @nihr.bsky.social

Todays presentation went down well at conference, sharing nurse led NIHR funded E-Primed Project. Proud to represent our fantastic team and provide an overview and progress update on our project @KeeleUniversity @NandM_Keele @MPFTResearch #MHNR2025

Always enjoy hearing about the innovative and impactful work of @cityalan and his team #MHNR25 talking about the importance of activities for supporting health, well-being and recovery of people with psychosis in inpatient MH services

Reflections 3 #mhnr2025 having a research conference dedicated to MHNursing feels essential for the continued development and vibrancy of our profession, and for the quality & safety of the care we provide. Yet it remains so challenging for nurses to attend….

Such a powerful presentation from Raf Hamaiza #MHNR25 A bridge to mutual understanding. Talks about under representation of minority groups in CEN services, the power imbalance and interplay in services displayed in the slide below. 👏 'how do we humanise things on both sides...'

Really enjoyed conf today had the privilege of sharing provisional results from the NIHR HTA funded SPS trial on behalf of chief investigator Prof Mike Crawford (Imperial) & the wider research team. #MHNR2025 representing my role as co-applicant @keeleuniversity.bsky.social @mpftnhs.bsky.social
