The Sunday Post ran an exclusive on the toolkit I’m developing to support people with intellectual difficulties to access cancer screening.
We’ll see if any other media pick up the press release over the next couple of days before graduation. Excited it’s getting out there! 😊

So pleased (and relieved!) that I passed my Viva earlier today with minor amendments! After over 9 years of study, I’m finally going to be a Health Psychologist!
So grateful to the ProfDoc team at the University of Stirling for all their support over the past 3+ years ☺️

Recently had to put together a case study for Masters students of my doctoral journey. Thought it could be useful to share here in case anyone was interested in the Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology!
Also highlights the differences from a PhD, with other competencies as well as research 😂

•Joined an interesting webinar on using behavioural science to address optimisation challenges in medication 🧠

The fact The Portman Group openly say that they are committed to “promoting moderate drinking” in this report on the rise of alcohol-related deaths in women, rather than promoting zero alcohol days or potential health consequences, shows their allegiance to Industry & desire for us to keep drinking.
