Honoured to attend this year’s British Heart Foundation Scotland’s ‘Desmond Julian lecture’ by pioneering Prof John McMurray at Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow ❤️‍🩹

Lovely to catch up with cardiology friends, especially the fabulous Maggie Simpson ❤️

Thank you for the invite David McColgan.

Delighted to be invited back to where my psychology journey began nearly 30 years ago at Stirling University to present my work & new book to the Health Psychology Group. Thanks for the invite Dr Arran Reader.

Ps. Stunning campus, especially in autumn, but parking remains a bit of a nightmare.

Please share widely, to quote Elena Amin, Associate Prof of Pediatrics, University of California, my hope very much is that this work “will give healthcare professionals the courage to counter historical norms in medical education and practice."

I’ve always been breathless often mentioning it at cardiology appointments. Recently, for 1st time, I underwent tests to find out I have restrictive ventilatory defect, apparently common after childhood heart surgery (I had 6 thorocotomies & OHS by 13 y/o). Why is this so neglected? ❤️‍🩹

My fav thing about working at a uni specialising in healthcare is adding widely neglected topics e.g, Ablesim, Medical Trauma & Psychologically Informed Healthcare to DPsych framework. Today, I went interdepartmental sharing my work with a Chronic Heart Failure Programme delivered by nursing dep ❤️‍🩹

February is heart month. Every person, no matter where they live, deserves access to lifesaving care for childhood-onset heart disease. Let’s unite to close the care gap. Please share.

Great to see the ongoing success of this online NHS support group, for people with congenital heart conditions, at Bristol Heart Institute based on our book. It was developed following the success of a similar (in person) group at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital Hospital in New York ❤️❤️‍🩹

Final prep for teaching on ‘Medical Trauma & Psychologically Informed Healthcare’ including lecture for UG Health Psychology (tomorrow) & full day workshop for Stage 3 trainee practitioner psychologists (Friday). It’s a career highlight being able to add these neglected topics to the curriculum ❤️‍🩹
