Fab day at the University of Stirling graduation! ☺️👩🏼‍🎓 #StirGrad

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! 😊

OFFICIALLY DR WHITE! 🥳🎉

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 ☺️

Excited to hear I have been successful in this competition! This relates to a resource/product idea I had following on from my research, to support those with intellectual disabilities to feel able to attend cancer screening and to engage in decision-making around their health 🧡Will share more soon!

After 3 years of the Professional Doctorate and over 1 year of my research project, my thesis is officially SUBMITTED!! 🥳🎉💫

Now to prepare for my Viva in April 😅

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 😂

Honestly, does anyone actually enjoy statistics??*🙈 Higher Maths is the only exam I’ve ever failed & I think I have some sort of inability to understand anything other than basic math! Like, what even is a Mantel Haenszel Test of Trend?! 🤦🏼‍♀️😩

*I know some do, just let me rant during thesis-writing 😂

Very much feeling this, this week with various responsibilities 😅 why did January feel so far away in December?!

Absolutely not in the festive spirit as I’m in the trenches with thesis-writing 😂 But hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is enjoying some rest during Crimbo Limbo 🎄

Please enjoy some photos of our beautiful wee guy under the Christmas Tree 🥹🐱🧡

Doing uni work and asked Spotify to play the songs with lyrics, and was met with this??

I’m sorry, but I’m literally needing to take cheek from Spotify now too?! 🤨 And for £16.99 a month, no less… 😒

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.

Would highly recommend the company of an orange cat. The best wee WFH colleague 🥰 🐈
