Looking forward to our next workshop!

Last week, I attended an @anti-stigmanetwork.bsky.social webinar focused on substance use related stigma across general practice. It was great to explore approaches to developing inclusion & addressing the impact of societal stigma regarding alcohol & substance misuse.

Lovely day in London for a catch up with the Evidence Mobilisation and Content & Engagement teams. Great to spend some time reflecting on our current work and considering next steps for expanding evidence use within the sector.

Finally started an ‘Immersion Journal’ to support the heuristic inquiry I am undertaking for my PhD. This provides an opportunity to sustain engagement in the research topic and record my thoughts and feelings as the research progresses.
