A photograph of the doors in York train station which says 'Welcome to York.
A photograph or York Cathedral, with trees, some cars and a road in front of it. The sky is blue and there a few small white clouds but it is a sunny day.
Some of our team met in York today. We talked about our plans for the belonging focus groups.
It was great to meet each other in person and the sun came out! 🌞 @poppybudworth.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social

Primark launches clothing range designed for people with disabilities
Range of womenswear and menswear contains 49 pieces adapted from brand’s bestselling items to suit variety of needs
Looks like this may be a good affordable range of clothes for many people :
Notable features include magnetic zips, hidden access points for stomas, insulin pumps, or other medical equipment, & cropped-cut jumpers that ensure clothes fit better on seated wearers

A group of 16 of us. A festive elf in the front row. A group of disabled and non disabled researchers posing after a day of hard work!
We really enjoyed our in-person training with Paradigm this time last month.
We all met in London and practiced our focus group co-facilitation.
We are looking forward to starting the research very soon!
