Read our latest report, Housing Options Information for Older People in GM: gmopn.org.uk/housing-options… The aim of the research was to examine the housing options info for older people provided by the local authorities in GM, with particular focus on older co-researchers’ experiences
It was a great privilege co-researching this hugely important housing options project. Hoping the report will lead to some significant improvements across whole of GM @greatermcr @MICRA_Ageing @MayorofGM

There’s lots of support available for people with cancer and also their loved ones, from counselling to massage, but you might not always be told about it. @CancerCareMap which I helped develop in the early days, points you to what’s in your area. It’s free. Do share.
Broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby lost his father Richard to cancer, now he’s highlighting a campaign to encourage people to seek out help as soon as possible.
He tells #BBCBreakfast about the Cancer Care Map.

It’s been a great experience being part of the #SCFN lung frailty project. Frailty requires a MDT approach & it’s important to recognise the valuable contribution that #AHPs & #Nurses can offer to assessing and providing frailty interventions. #ValueOfOT #GeriOnc
Very proud of our team's hard work over last year on frailty in lung cancer patients at The Christie!
A NHS Elect publication highlighting the need, its challenges but also the positive achievements

In professional life you should endeavour to surround yourself with people who want you to do well and who have the ability to bring out the best in you. You should also aspire, imagine being able to bring out the very best in everyone you meet. Teach well. – at South Shields, England
