Open until December! If you are a UK healthcare worker, in any field, whether clinical or not, please have your say about what workplace communication REALLY MATTERS. 🙏

(My guess... it won't be the 'formal' or 'official' comms... and it might not even always be verbal.🤔)

Is Behavioural Activation cost effective for depression in older adults?

May be - but depends on how much society or a healthcare system is willing to pay for each additional quality-adjusted life year (QALY).

New preprint! Review of the literature on fun at work, work engagement and burnout 🎉

The paper reflects on whether Fun at Work might be inherently part of work engagement rather than a separate construct, functioning as a job resource.

This is genius. This is so much better than the Outlook auto suggestions.
As semesters start and you find yourself repeatedly answering emails with the same questions from students, this is my annual reminder that you can make all your frequent responses email signatures and just select them from your signature list to respond. You're welcome. #academicsky
