Third and final stakeholder workshop done this morning to co-design a bereavement support toolkit for care home staff. Thanks to the @enrichscotland.bsky.social team who helped with note-taking! First time using the whiteboard feature on Teams and was impressed!

I'm glad you're enjoying it! There's lots of youtube video tutorials if you're stuck with anything. My main gripe is the size of the files once I download them as powerpoints, usually 10mb+! But worth it for the prettyness.

This was the second of 3 workshops to help with the development of a bereavement support toolkit for care home staff. We asked participants to do a prioritisation and sorting exercise on "stuff" that might be in the toolkit, and everyone had so much learning and insights to share! #whywedoresearch

Did you know the ENRICH Scotland team have a variety of research skills & are available to help with data collection and analysis? Today, Maria & Maureen are holding a co-design workshop with stakeholders at the Uni of Glasgow. Get in touch to find out how we can help with your care home research!

Christine travelled all the way from Stornoway to join yesterdays stakeholder meeting! She works at the islands joint care home and hospice and shared a wealth of knowledge and experience. @enrichscotland.bsky.social

Great day today at the first (of three) engagement events where we are talking to care home stakeholders about what should/could/shouldn't/couldn't be in a bereavement toolkit. Helped by two wonderful ENRICH Scotland team mates 💕

Lovely photos 😍

Panel discussion went really well. Lots of interesting conversations and questions reflecting on the health and social care data strategy. I highlighted the need for fair minimum digital infrastructure standards and co-designing processes that improve interoperability. @enrichscotland.bsky.social

Do read our blogs, or listen to the writer narrations? Did you know they have a separate podcast? Looks like they’re pretty popular on @goodpods.bsky.social, a great independent podcast platform go.goodpods.com/5LbdnB

This image features a promotional graphic for a guest blog titled "Productivity, Focus, and Parenthood" by Emily Spencer, a PhD student at University College London. The visual depicts a stylised scene with Emily sitting at a cluttered desk, surrounded by books and papers labelled "PHD." She is writing in a notebook while glancing at a laptop screen. In the foreground, a baby is reaching towards a guitar, symbolising the balance between academic pursuits and parenting. Emily Spencer's photo is placed in the top right corner, affirming her authorship.

🕒🍼 Finding focus can be tough, especially with a little one in tow. See how Emily Spencer @ejmspencer.bsky.social tackles productivity and parenthood in her must-read blog. #TimeManagement #ParentingTips

So, my contract is ending, and I am about to become unemployed. I am filled with dread. The job market for historians is abominable. If anyone sees anything suitable, including political work, I’d be interested to know.
