#AD Living with a medical condition like MS & with other vulnerable people at home, the flu jab & Covid-19 booster are important to me. Viruses spread easier in winter as we mix more indoors. We got boosted to be protected! Check @NHSuk if you're eligible nhs.uk/wintervaccinations

Meet me! And also find out how I believe Plain Language Summaries contribute to more equitable access to innovation and create a positive feedback loop! I’m proud to contribute to this work and also do my part to break new ground creating the change that I want to see.

AD. As you meet some of the people Bursting MS Bubbles, I’d love to share my story too. Diagnosed in 2008 aged 28, my MS has made me more confident, I've travelled more, I've been on national TV & danced on Strictly (!) & I've connected with amazing people! #BeyondTheBubble

This panel was a riot. My only criticism is that it was too short! The whole event was fantastic and I was proud to contribute to the body of work #epis2020

It was a pleasure to speak on patient involvement in hybrid decentralised clinical trial design yesterday. What I said below applies to every single aspect of drug and policy development too! #PatientsEU2021

This is a legitimately very big deal. The only test for Alzheimer's disease we've had is PET-scan or spinal tap. The assay for p-tau217 registers the presence of the plaques and tangles of AD equally accurately, and better than MRI or other tests.

A blood test for Alzheimer's is closer to reality than ever,  promising news in a field that's faced one failure after another. "Amazing isn't it?" one expert says. "I mean, really, five years ago, I would have told you it was science fiction." nyti.ms/3hJHsQU

‘Amazing, Isn’t It?’ Long-Sought Blood Test for Alzheimer’s in Reach (Published 2020)

Scientists say such tests could be available in a few years, speeding research for treatments and providing a diagnosis for dementia patients who want to know if they have Alzheimer’s disease.

Thrilled to be starting a position as a Governor at Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It’s in the top 10% performing Trusts in the UK and also one of the largest. 19 Hospitals and 13,000+ staff will bring its own challenges but I’m grateful for all learning opportunities.

Just watched my first PhD defence over Zoom. Wasn’t quite as exciting as usual but the applicant did very well. I suppose a good thing about all this is this kind of thing is more accessible than ever. Fricken love scientific research.
