A fantastic discussion by TZhao on "The association between continuity of primary care and patient complaints: Evidence from the English NHS" authored by Jinyang Chen. Well done T! #WarwickHESG

Not able to attend #SAPC2024 but following along online. Lovely to see messages re: sustainable primary care, a broadening understanding of access and how to address inequalities.

The writing to patients from rheumatology research project website is live! Our aim is to support rheumatology healthcare professionals to write outpatient clinic letters directly to patients. To find out more about what we are doing and why, please visit: sites.manchester.ac.uk/writing-to-rhe…

Parcels filled with these lovely posters and leaflets are on the way to our research sites. Looking forward to the next stage of recruitment to the study ‘Writing to patients from #Rheumatology’ - a word I will hopefully have learned how to spell before the end of the project! 😆
