New findings in TBM @BehavioralMed on the benefits of qualitative process mapping focus groups! Our research shows they're an efficient way to identify target behaviors for change, barriers to change, and gain insight on site-specific clinical processes #ImpSci #LynchSyndrome

Graduated my #PhD! Wouldn’t have been possible without amazing supervisors @Njt14, @BonnyEconomist, A/Prof Kathy Tucker & Prof Tim Shaw, & support by @CCNewSouthWales, @TCRNetwork, & @Sydney_Uni. Excited to continue using #implementationscience to help people affected by cancer

‘The health system is likely to be overwhelmed with low incidence problems as genomic testing becomes business as usual’. Fantastic presentation by Natalie Taylor on the use of implementation science to improve Lynch syndrome referral practices 👏👏👏 @Njt14 #FAC2021 #BIRdE

Took a break from thesis-writing last night to put up the tree🌲, and had a (very unhelpful) helper #gcpets

Today is Mesothelioma Awareness Day! Did you know Australia has one of the highest incidence rates of mesothelioma in the world? The only known cause of mesothelioma is asbestos. Make sure you protect yourself from asbestos today to prevent mesothelioma: cancer.org.au/cancer-informa…

ICYMI, today is #InternationalDogDay! So proud of my mum for bravely sharing her story about how ‘Large Sarge’ (a very good boy) turned her life around ❤️. Thanks to @insightSBS for capturing. sbs.com.au/news/insight/anim…

Animal companionship: ‘I didn’t want to live, then a dog changed everything’

Carolyn saw no point in living - until Sarge came along and turned things around. Research reveals just how vital pets can be in improving the mental health of humans.

It is essential to include clinicians in this process - they are best placed to assess need and the appropriateness of the research #patientsafety #PatientCare @UTS_Health @calebferg @suedeandean

Even when a proposal to change practice is based on sound research, clinical policy must consider the strengths and limitations of all relevant outcomes against the practical realities of the clinical setting. So how important is the clinician in this evaluation process? @JBI_EI
