"We heard some very powerful and emotional stories. Thank you for sharing. It was powerful how people could relate their foundations into what we were saying and how they could see how it relates to their lives and some of their experiences" @samprowse20.bsky.social

We really enjoyed hearing about other HPFT NHS Trust research and sharing our Making Positive Moves animation video and upcoming toolkit. You can watch our animation with the *wonderful* Joan here: youtu.be/Oy_bJreYte8?... and visit our website here: makingpositivemoves.org

Great discussion at @learningdiseng.bsky.social conference today and thanks to those who shared their experiences of hospital with us. Lots of similarities with the Making Positive Moves findings.

Sadie and Mel reflecting on recruiting to the DESMOND-ID diabetes study at the HPFT research showcase. It was important to take time to build a relationship and trust prior to consent. More research visits were sometimes needed. Crucial to consider and budget for this in research projects.

Great presentation at Learning Disability England conference about why citizenship matters, from the book Everyday Citizenship. "Community is born when we help each other"
