The RACER-Knee results are now published in The Lancet. Funded by @nihr.bsky.social, we looked at whether robotic-assisted surgery was better than conventional surgery for knee replacement. We found no differences in patient outcomes over the first year after surgery. doi.org/10.1016/S014...

I was a researcher on AFRI-c, conducting the process evaluation (paper here: lnkd.in/deFSQCeT). It was a large cluster randomised controlled trial that took three years to complete. Using air filters in care homes did not reduce respiratory infections in residents.

Are you a health professional who supports people with vulval lichen sclerosus (LS)? We have a downloadable treatment plan template that might be useful! It comes with clear diagrams and prompts for points to explain to patients. Find it here www.lichensclerosusguide.org.uk/information-...

The LS Guide is here! Please take a look to learn more about LS, and share with others. This is an under-recognised, but not uncommon, condition which can have a huge impact especially if not diagnosed and treated properly. Lots of information and advice for patients and health professionals alike!

Our paper about the lived experience of shingles is out. We found that for some people, linking it with 'low mood' or poor mental health was stigmatising, and resulted in shame and self-blame. Generally people don't know how debilitating shingles can be until they experience it.

Cannot wait to launch this on Friday, it's been a real labour of love over the last year and I'm so keen to see what people think! I hope it will help people and make a difference.
