In this paper we aim to show how undertaking a #systematicreview in collaboration with a policymaker can be framed as a hermeneutic process, improving relevance for policy and challenging the conventional rule following account of #systematicreviews (1/2): journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

It's Rare Disease Day. Over 350 million people live with a rare condition globally. But rare disease is poorly taught about in medical education leaving doctors unable to support their patients. So we are raising awareness amongst healthcare professionals #ShowYourStripes

For those not working in academia, how do you access peer reviewed research, if at all? How would you like to? How can academics get better at sharing findings?

What thing I've learned from working in academia for the last 23 years is that we're given a special gift of trying to make the world a better place, on a micro and macro level. That we're able to do that by improving ourselves but it should never come at the expense of others.
