So happy to announce that I passed my PhD viva this week with minor corrections.

My examiners made me feel so comfortable and made it a really enjoyable experience.

Thank you to my Sussex and BSIU family - and my actual family - for the amazing celebrations in Brighton!

3 years and 500 pages later, I handed in my PhD at the end of April.

Thank you to everyone at the BSIU and Sussex who made the hand in day so special 🎉

It was great being in Manchester this week for #UKHSA25. I attended interesting talks on applying behavioural science in incident response; improving health outcomes in prisons; effects of climate change on vector-borne diseases; and antimicrobial stewardship in social care

Based on the findings we made 6 recommendations to optimise the experiences of using online support groups
