SUMMARY:Continuity of care in UK general practice
DESCRIPTION:Continuity of care means patients seeing the same GP over time to develop a personal and trusting relationship. Good continuity of care is known to be better for patients’ health\, but has been declining in the UK. \nWhen someone wants to see a GP\, they contact their practice and ask for an appointment. This can be done in different ways\, and these are called the ‘access systems’ in a general practice. \nRecently\, there have been lots of changes to access systems\, due to the high demand for appointments. However\, patients say it is still very difficult to book an appointment with a GP they know. There has been very little research on how these different access systems have affected continuity of care. \nIn this research conversation\, Hannah Mahoney will talk about her study to find out how continuity of care and access systems are linked. \nIn her study\, staff working in General Practice will measure the level of continuity of care being delivered in their practice. They will also complete a questionnaire about the access systems used in their practice. We will review the data and describe any links we find and will then interview some staff members to get more detailed information. \nWe hope this information will help us understand how we can improve continuity of care in the UK. All participants will get feedback on how their data compares to other practices\, which they can use to improve their care. \nOur speaker\nHannah Mahoney is an Academic Clinical Fellow in General Practice\, in the Centre for Academic Primary Care at the University of Bristol. This means she spends half of her time training to be a GP and half of her time doing research. \nShe is interested in continuity of care because she thinks it is one of the most important and valuable things about being a GP. She is new to research\, so will really appreciate the insights from your discussions. \nWhat is a research conversation?\nResearch Conversations are hosted by People in Health West of England and are informal sessions which are designed to give researchers and public contributors a chance to interact. Public contributors are encouraged to ask questions\, learn about\, and get involved in projects in their area. \n\n\nJoining instructions\nTo join the research conversation\, use the Zoom link below \nJoin the session

SUMMARY:The Lived Experience and Researcher Network (LEARN)
DESCRIPTION:MND Scotland is once again hosting free\, interactive\, and educational local events focused on motor neuron disease research. The Lived Experience and Researcher Network (LEARN)\, organised by Scotland’s MND charity\, brings together people affected by motor neuron disease (MND) and local MND researchers. \nLEARN launched in 2023 when people with MND were invited to take tours of researchers’ laboratories and provide useful feedback to improve engagement events for people with MND and researchers. \nIn 2024\, 102 people attended four LEARN events in Aberdeen\, Dundee\, Edinburgh and Glasgow. \nThis year\, MND Scotland’s research team will be returning to Glasgow\, Aberdeen\, Edinburgh\, Dundee\, and an additional new location in Dingwall\, Scottish Highlands\, to help build relationships between researchers and people affected by MND and allow them to share knowledge and experiences. \nThe events will take place in football stadiums across the country thanks to the support from: Celtic FC\, Aberdeen FC\, Ross County Football Club\, Dundee United F.C.\, and Heart of Midlothian. \nOn the day\, attendees can expect to hear presentations from MND researchers; take part in open discussions with MND researchers and people affected by MND; participate in sessions facilitated to build relationships between attendees and researchers; and have opportunities to learn about current MND research. \nMotor neuron disease (MND) is a rapidly progressing terminal neurological illness\, which stops signals from the brain reaching the muscles. MND Scotland is the only charity in Scotland dedicated to directly supporting people living with motor neuron disease and their families and friends. \nThere are around 480 people in Scotland currently living with MND. There is no cure or meaningful treatments. \nMND Scotland supports the idea that the input and viewpoints of those with lived experience are vital to help guide research. \nKen McEwen and his wife Lesley attended the LEARN Aberdeen event in 2024: \nThe informative and engaging events will explore the latest developments in MND research for those affected by motor neuron disease and hopes to build relationships between those with lived experience and researchers to make sure that research reflects the needs of people with or affected by MND. \nMND Scotland invites those interested in this research learning event to hear more about their contribution in the fight against MND. \nEvent details (including information about parking\, accessibility\, and how to register) can be found here:  \n\nThursday 11 September 2025\, 2pm-5pm\, Celtic Park\, Glasgow https://mndscotland.org.uk/events/learn-glasgow/\nTuesday 23 September 2025\, 2pm-5pm\, Pittodrie Stadium\, Aberdeen https://mndscotland.org.uk/events/learn-aberdeen\nTuesday 7 October 2025\, 2pm-5pm\, Tynecastle Park\, Edinburgh https://mndscotland.org.uk/events/learn-edinburgh\nWednesday 22 October 2025\, 2pm-5pm\, Tannadice Park\, Dundee https://mndscotland.org.uk/events/learn-dundee\nThursday 30 October 2025\, 2pm-5pm\, Ross County\, Dingwall: https://mndscotland.org.uk/events/learn-dingwall\n\nThe online registration link can also be access here: https://forms.office.com/e/WS8VUJLYFz \nFor more information about MND Scotland\, please visit: www.mndscotland.org.uk\, email: info@mndscotland.org.uk\, or call: 0141 332 3903.
