New paper '25 years of Qualitative Research in Sport and Exercise Psychology: How Did it Go? & What Now?' We talk about fallacies, interviewing, AI, digital methods, story completion, analysis & physical activity guidelines! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@GaryBro33573414 Me too! Thanks so much for sharing. Super recent gig at the Cluny in Newcastle. Keep making us happy @WolfsbaneHMS
@WolfsbaneHMS See you in Newcastle on Sunday - Happy Mothers Day!
A fab day celebrating #WSWD2025 with SW from @BelfastTrust and learning together about improving wellbeing. Delighted to have the expertise of @BrettSmithProf to share his moving social workers project and help us think how we find space for physical activity in our work 🙌👇
Looking forward to celebrating #WSWD2025 with @BelfastTrust social workers & wishing colleagues everywhere a very happy World SW Day! Proud & privileged to be part of this profession! @davidwylie79 @JaneMcC37306018 @grace_reihill @johnhand @1JJGordon @Hine10Lisa @CathieConnor1
@jacksonfyfe Yes! UK CMOs disablity PA guidelines has rethought. It included this in co-produced infographics along with other doses, strength etc to capture nuance and difference messages etc. researchgate.net/publication/35…
Exercise can make a real difference to social workers and those they work with. Hear a new podcast that explores the @MovingSW programme and the positive impact physical activity can have on mental health and wellbeing. ow.ly/tr8j50V3m7Q
@M_Stamatakis @NatureMedicine Lovely paper. Thanks. This message is embedded in UK CMO disabled children's and adults guidelines plus there is need to advocate beyond just clinicians - expand the PA workforce! researchgate.net/publication/35…

Employment survey: I am doing research into the experiences of disabled people finding work. I'm focussing on people who, like me, have a physical impairment. I would be grateful if you could consider participating in the survey, or sharing it with those who may. The survey link is below and further information is attached. Thank you cambridge.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bD…
