🧠 Rethinking Decision-Making in Disorders of Consciousness
How do we make healthcare decisions for people in a Disorder of Consciousness (DoC)? Decisions aim to reflect their best interests, but how well do we truly achieve this?
Teresa Clark’s PhD research (@UniofNottingham, @RHNuk) introduces risk-making theory, highlighting overlooked social factors in DoC decision-making. This work hopes to help families & clinicians feel more confident in their choices.

Thank you Howard. Wales should not have to rely on recruiting registered nurses from other countries. @cardiffuni has a part to play in the health ecosystem. Your role as co-chair of the @WHO State of the World’s Nursing Report as a Cardiff alumnus is a positive example of influence. #HealthForAll
Today I wrote to Cardiff University asking them to reconsider the decision to close their Nursing school. As a Cardiff alumnus I know how highly regarded the University is and globally it is imperative we invest in nursing education if we are to deliver #HealthForAll

Congratulations Brittany! 🌟
So delighted that Brittany’s research to address the exclusion of care home residents from research has been recognised at the PGR Excellence Awards under the research culture award!! Well done!! @CUmedicengage @CTRCardiffUni @DPMRes
If you, or someone you know, works in a care home please take a look at @BENocivelli request for people to join her public involvement group and support this exciting study to support communication with care home residents about research (ENGAGE2)

🦠 Antibiotic resistant urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in women, yet many aren't given urine tests before being prescribed preventive antibiotics.
🧪 More urine testing for women with recurrent UTIs would improve choice of antibiotic: evidence.nihr.ac.uk/alert/re…

A critical report & as highlighted the decline in clinical researchers - doctors, nurses, allied health etc has serious consequences both for the healthcare system & the economy. Nurses & midwives make up more >50% of the workforce time to make research a core part of their role
A new report has outlined an urgent need to address the declining number of clinical researchers in the UK. Professors @LucyChappell2 and @WaljitD alongside other key partners contributed to the report and a set of key recommendations to tackle the issue at a national level.

"By working together with others across the system to act on the key recommendations outline in the report, we can attract, train and support outstanding clinical researchers to drive innovation across the health and care system to deliver improved health outcomes for all."
