Very pleased to share this blog post discussing my experiences of seeking 'impact' during my PhD for my doctoral funder, NIHR SPCR.
For me, it grew iteratively and was grounded in relationships and collaboration.
Hopefully of use to others currently undertaking their PhDs!

A couple of weeks ago I passed my DPhil viva (with no corrections?!) at @oxprimarycare.bsky.social
Using this as an excuse to share some of my doctoral research papers!
My thesis was an ethnographic study of the digitalisation of general practice work, published across three papers (so far)
