New post from @_HSMCentre on LinkedIn on last week's BRACE rapid evaluation centre Core Team Meeting, which I facilitated. A great group doing really interesting work to shape better services for patients and communities linkedin.com/posts/health-se…
Yesterday I facilitated the Public Partnerships in Non-Clinical Research satellite session @The_MRC Biomedicine 2025 Science Conference. An inspiring and uplifting day which Simon Denegri has described beautifully on LinkedIn:

Our afternoon session kicked off with a second round of insightful discussions on #JLAPriorities. Informed by your interests from the registration forms, we delved into current work and brainstormed potential ideas for development in this area. #CongenitalHeartResearchNetwork

Delighted to hear Prof Gavin Murphy insights about challenges and opportunities a national #ResearchNetwork offers, from his own experiences in setting up the National Cardiac Surgery Initiative. Advocacy from members of the public is a key enabler: co-production is essential
