The fantastic #DEMCOMM Care Home SIG @bsg2024 in Newcastle @OLuijnenburg @DaviesMegs @JamesHFaraday Steven Lyons, Orii McDermott, and guest speaker Marlene Kelly. A wonderful symposium!

@DaviesMegs and Michelle Drury Mullholland presenting interesting findings from the CHAPPI study @bsg2024 @UEA_Health Activity provision in care homes

Fantastic to present @bsg2024 with the DEM-COMM Care Home Special Interest Group @UEA_Health @DaviesMegs @JamesHFaraday

Watch until the end - it's powerfully accurate and so important.

My PhD was embedded in this wider TRANS-SENIOR project. I looked specifically at how we can improve transitions into care, exploring person-centredness & quality of life after a permanent move into care. Thanks to @farahislam94 @LKraun & @LGroenvynck for representing the TS team!

Check out our latest blog by Gizdem Akdur: "Involving care home residents in research via Activity Providers". Find this and other blogs on our blogsite - a space for @BSGcarehomes members to share, discuss, and learn what's going on in #carehomes research

Do you have a relative who lives in a #carehome? We're looking for people to join an advisory group for our study looking at how the Mental Capacity Act is put into practice in care homes. English & Welsh speakers very welcome! For more info, please email ENACT@sheffield.ac.uk

'Put older people at heart of ageing research,' urges report: The needs of older people should be put at the heart of research concerned with ageing

Very (pleasantly) surprised to see my PhD review paper as 'Editor's Choice' of this month's Gerontologist alongside other interesting papers looking at 'Key Transitions'. @fzuniga300 @msimoninfo @SandraStaudache @TransSenior @NursingUnibas @MaastrichtU

What a wild ride the last 4 years have been. 3 rapid ethnographies in 3 countries with 1 global pandemic thrown in for good measure. It hasn’t quite sunk in yet, but on Monday I passed my defense and can officially close this chapter as Dr. Davies 🎉 @NursingUnibas @CAPHRI_UM

I’m very pleased to have closed out 2022 with the publication of my second #phd paper in @BMC_series exploring person-centredness at mealtimes in long-term residential care from the perspective of residents in Switzerland, the UK and the Netherlands https://t.co/HizgvYn3yA

Word of the day is ‘quafftide’(16th century): a one-word announcement that it’s time for a drink.

The “joy to have in class, has difficulty turning in assignments” to “why are all these ADHD memes so relatable?” pipeline.

The only way I can think to describe this last stage before thesis submission is if you were in the last mile of a marathon & an official stopped you and said 'I know you're tired, but we just need to add on a few more miles & you need to do those in weighted shoes' 🫠 #phdchat

My vibe is feeling overwhelmed but also like I’m not doing enough.

Larry knows. Larry always knows.

Word of the day is 'blutterbunged' (19th century dialect): dumbfounded, confounded, and open-mouthed in amazement. (Not to be confused with 'dumfungled': utterly exhausted.)

Thank you all who joined us today in the GSA Interest Group Meeting on Systems Research in LTC @WeTHRIVE_CDE @LeporeMJ @amyexactlyyao @FranziK @DaviesMegs @TONYAROBERTS Annica Backman, Barb Bowers, Jane #longtermcare #personcentredcare @geronsociety #sbgg #fn_ilpii

Looking forward to sharing information during the @geronsociety “Systems Research in Long-Term Care interest group” later today to discuss how international #personcentredcare is. Registration to join for free is still open in the link below.
