I loved that the learning event was co-produced with the community co-researchers and really enjoyed the presentation from the Director of Blackpool Researching Together on knowledge weaving.

Wednesday the community co-researchers and I gave a keynote at the Blackpool Researching Together annual learning event and also delivered a workshop with my fab colleague Charlotte Rothwell

Working with the community co-researchers on Tuesday as part of our NIHR PHIRST Fusion Cosy Homes in Lancashire evaluation phirst.nihr.ac.uk/evaluations/...
