Thank you to everyone who joined us for the PPI #SummerFestival 2026! The day brought together public contributors, researchers, families and communities to celebrate the impact of public involvement in Leicester research. A highlight of the day was a joyful performance from our Dance and Health community group, whose invitation to join in saw researchers, contributors and visitors dancing together. A huge thank you to all our contributors for the time, insight and lived experience you continue to bring to our research. #NIHR20 #NIHRBRCLeicester #PublicInvolvement #ResearchTogether @crdc_ln @SAHealthAction

Been hosting a series of podcasts for @NIHRresearch @ExceedStudy talking about their fantastic research projects. A treat to talk to @cathrynlewis about her work on treatment resistant #depression. We desperately need more #statisticians #mathematicians in health research! 👇
No better way to spend a Friday afternoon than recording a podcast with @Turi__King on our treatment resistant #depression work to celebrate the @ExceedStudy 10th anniversary.
