Unwanted intimate examinations treated as essential in the name of protection of fairness in sports, accepting that as a justification for gross violations. I recently wrote a blog on this with @jonathanherring.bsky.social and @camillapickles.bsky.social www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2024/11/18/u...

📣Coming out soon (Feb 25th) a new textbook edited by @sabrinagermain.bsky.social @jonathanherring.bsky.social and me offering insights on embedding diverse perspectives into teaching health(care) law! Info about contributors and the intro is available: bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/diverse-voic...

Yes. But is “I’ve not been shown to lack capacity’ sufficient to access assisted dying? I would have thought we would want a much more robust test of capacity than that

New blog with @jonathanherring.bsky.social and @camillapickles.bsky.social: unwanted intimate examinations often go unchallenged, framed as 'necessary'. We want to broaden the conversation beyond healthcare, identifying areas for further research #LawSky www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2024/11/18/u...

Great to be at the oxford di-verse poetry festival

Enjoying the fragile x congress in barcelona

Great to be speaking at FRAXI Congress on ethics of diagnosis delivery

Thank for your message and glad the book was helpful. Well done on all your success

Yes!

Managed to complete Oxford half marathon …. Just.

Very excited to be part of a team looking at how we describe conditions/disabilities and the importance of highlighting the positive aspects as well as the negative aspects. In this case Fragile X syndrome.
