June was dominated by field research in GP practices with Alison, joined at times by Nick, Ben, and Mohit.
Also featured were patient observations, reading up on triaging approaches, and a delicious Victoria sponge.

Help: latest with user needs for accounts?
When does someone need an account
When do they not?
When is “magic link” good enough - for user to track application, and for the organisation to be able to connect a person to their records?
Are accounts an inevitable in the age of integrated data?

The most generous, warm, principled, intelligent, passionate, creative, and empathetic colleague and friend you could hope to have. So many of us wouldn’t be who we are without her. I hope she knows how many lives she touched.

We have an opening for a User Researcher in the Digital Primary Care team 🩺
It’s an interesting opportunity to join a multidisciplinary team, whose current focus is ensuring that out of hours GP appointments can be offered to patients.

This month, I worked on recruitment, strategic research, co-working, team charters, and ethics & safeguarding. And it was really warm! 🌞
Next month - I’m looking forward to longer term planning for research in my area, and a tonne of accessibility work with colleagues.

Really pleased to be joining Megan and Gabe to help organise User Centred Dojo!
I really believe that regardless of our background, our day job or amount of experience, people need a safe space to practice and learn aspects of research, design, and implementation of services.

Sadly some were hosted elsewhere and no longer available, or you’d have those too.
Enjoy!
