So proud to have graduated last week with a PhD at @NorthumbriaUni ! Thank you to @HaightonKatie
you were the best primary supervisor, and also @DrAMRodrigues , and Rob Wilson- I was so lucky to have such a well rounded and supportive team of supervisors!
Fab to support Katie on this- really highlights a need for more support and guidance for domiciliary carers regarding the alcohol use of older adults they care for
Great to see this important review published. Thanks for all your hard work @beth_research and Mel Steer. We made the cover page! mdpi.com/1660-4601/21/10/132…

Are you a carer, do you receive care or are you a relative of someone who receives care (aged 50+)? We need your help to inform our research. You’ll receive £50 for an hour of your time. Please share widely or get in touch for more info!

Establishing an updated #consensus on the conceptual and operational definitions of #Making #Every #Contact #Count (MECC) across experts within research and practice: an international Delphi Study

@beth_research @MECCgroupNCL
Our Delphi study identifying new consensus definitions of MECC is now published: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… . The key takeaway is that MECC is defined by its person centered approach, rather than duration or topic/target behaviour. Thank you to all of the experts who contributed!
