A new report from TransActual looks at the impact of the 2025 EHRC interim update on access to, and experiences within, gendered spaces in the UK. Read the full report here: transactual.org.uk/gendered-spa... #TransRights #EHRC #ScrapTheBathroomBan #EqualityAct

Image of a megaphone on a pink and purple background. Text reads: Gendered Spaces and the Impact of the EHRC Non-Statutory Interim Update on Trans, Intersex and Gender Non-Conforming Adults. Discrimination and harassment have increased for both trans and non trans people since the EHRC’s “Interim Update”.

Image of a megaphone on a pink and purple background. Text reads: Following challenge or harassment, respondents reported avoiding gendered spaces because of fear of violence or intimidation.

One Month Milestone for the MCS-Stroke Project It’s been just one month since we opened recruitment for the MCS-Stroke project across two NHS hospitals — and I'm thrilled to share that we’ve already recruited and assessed 24 stroke survivors using the new tool. www.linkedin.com/posts/sam-s-...

Me too! So happy to have Lincolnshire trusts on board !

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

As usual we met up with the ‘Belgians’ AKA Prof. Gillebert’s empire for dinner and amazing discussions. Also Prof Randi Starrfelt and Dr Ro Robathom from Copenhagen for much needed catch ups.

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

Additionally, seeing old colleagues who have moved on to bigger and better places to advance their career, including Ibe Couwels (now in Prof. Céline Gillebert research group) and Valeska Kozik who has competed her PhD with Prof. Kathrin Finke and Prof. Matthias Schwab.

Personal highlights included seeing Paula Grammatikos present her MSc work and how she presented the complicated case of mental capacity assessment. Paula is now moving to Aarhus as as a research assistant to begin with.

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

Another highlight of the conference was meeting up in person with the FESN Stroke Interest Group and stimulating discussion around cultural impacts on cognitive test performance.

Ok #FESN2025 is over! As always, my favourite mainland European conference. My main goal is to make new connections, meet up with existing connections, and get my work out there. This year I presented the Mini-OCS, which is now fully out there for use with chronic stroke survivors in English..

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

Hi Chloe thanks for the question- there are overlap in stimuli and tasks between the OCS and Mini-OCS. We don’t yet know what is the perfect time between tasks, if you find out let us know a good range !

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Ahead of next weeks Federation of the European Societies of Neuropsychology (FESN) conference in Leipzig, Germany, see our poster showcasing the Mini-Oxford Cognitive Screen. The screening tool is now available for licensing and use. We think it best suits primary care settins with chronic stroke.

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

That’s true, and indeed the full OCS is global, but we don’t have translations available. We do have intentions to make the test global via adaptations in the future but we don’t have funding for this currently.

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Hi Alba thanks for getting in contact. We need to do some further research to assess feasibility in primary care settings (think, GPs), to establish how best to use it. I’d love to see it rolled out nationwide eventually as part of a 6-month stroke review.

Back to work after Easter break which followed annual leave. Half of my morning was making a todo list from the mass emails received in the last 7-days - soon to actually start! Happy Easter all - lets smash the next few months until summer.

Co-production workshops done for the week - such an exceptional experience to hear from a diverse range of healthcare professionals to inform development of our new cognitive screen. Now to decode all of the feedback and make changes!

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

First one was so good! Such a critical and helpful experience. Looking forward to the next few workshops.

Count down 15 minutes (!!) for my first allied health professional workshop as part of my postdoctoral fellowship funding by the Stroke Association to co-produce a staged cognitive screening tool for stroke.

This academic year, I have submitted two of my first ever NHS ethics applications (one commercial one non-commercial). How different the process is depending on whos paying! First REC meeting today, wish me luck :)

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Last push for this, as we approach the end of Jan and these workshops are taking place in Feb :)

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Really quite exciting planning the next few months co-production workshops and how we will get my new cognitive screening app platform off the ground running in next few years. More to come!

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

Are you a neuropsychologist or clinical psychologist involved in stroke care (rare, I know!)? We could really use your help developing a new cognitive assessment platform on an app - please get in touch if interested :) @donbps.bsky.social

Hi Adele, I won't be sadly, but my supervisor @neledemeyere.bsky.social is giving a talk about level 1 stroke care tomorrow at 9am!

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Epic talk by Prof. Martin James on the past, present, and future of stroke research. We are all responsible to be the future leaders in stroke research and implementation. #UKSF24

Dr Sam S. Webb @drsamswebb.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Thank you, the list is helpful to me too, got to build a good home page after the move over

I'm recruiting for my co-production workshops with health care workers involved in stroke and cognitive assessment at #UKSF24 If interested in helping out, please get in touch or grab me in the lobby today :) we hope to run these workshops in the new year.
