Recently Uncovered Photograph Collection Reveals Extraordinary Insight into pre-NHS Healthcare

As many of you will already know, I am avid user of Twitter and, like a magpie, I collect shiny and interesting looking tweets. I do this by emailing them to myself and archiving them for future reference - perhaps there is a more adept way to archive tweets, but I have yet to discover it! 

Consequently, I often have to 'prune' my collection of email tweets, and scrolling through them recently, I came across a tweet containing the following link: 

Recently Uncovered Photograph Collection Reveals Extraordinary Insight into pre-NHS Healthcare . 

If you have a chance, please do visit the link, especially given that the 70^th anniversary of the NHS is likely in your sights at the moment. You will find an amazing collection of photographs as well as video interviews with ex-nurses…..hugely engaging and insightful.

You can also access the archive here: https://historicengland.org.uk/whats-new/news/Archive-Medical-Collection

I hope you’ll agree that this extraordinary archive is a
must-see.

It summarises research and clinical evidence in this arena, to aid commissioners and other stakeholders to shape the service landscape. It is not intended to be read as a set of recommendations for practitioners.

Probiotics for mental health

Professor Colin Martin
has co-authored:

Probiotics in Mental Health 

From the website:
The concept that the gut and brain are intricately linked is widely accepted not just within the lay community but increasingly within scientific and therapeutic circles as well. Terms such as "heartache" and "gut wrenching" are more than mere metaphor, they represent key fundamental aspects of human experience which all individuals will invariably endure from time to time. The relationship between the gut and brain is complex but fundamental to health and wellbeing. Increasing and compelling evidence supports the existence of a relationship between the health and status of the gut and the manifestation of significant psychopathology.

Associate Dean Dr Jacquie White has been appointed Adjunct Professor at Memorial University, Canada effective for three years. Jacquie and Julie Jomeen visited Memorial in February 2018 and as a result Jacquie is working to facilitate some projects with them e.g. a network to benefit both groups of PhD students, some early discussions about interdisciplinary education with both our medical schools (they have a long history of this) and a FHS group that has just started that is aiming to develop a peer-to-peer observation audit tool for the VLE.

Global Challenges Research Funding success in the SHSW:

Dr Karin Cooper (PI) was successful in gaining £3,945 GCRF with NGO partners in East Africa - Bienvenu Munyerere (Burundi) and Yannick Mubakilay (Democratic Republic of the Congo) and University of Hull colleagues Amina Dualeh and Dr Amanda Lee.

This project emerges from discussions following the International Social Work Conference which took place in Kigali, Rwanda earlier this year.

The work will commence in July 18 when Karin will meet with Bienvenu and Yannick in Tanzania during the initial networking phase of the project entitled ‘Trauma and Community Based Social Work in East Africa’.  This visit will contribute to the development of a further research bid to the GCRF.

Faculty colleagues visit to Helsinki

Dr Andrea Hilton and Kirsty Fishburn visited Laurea University Finland during 23 – 25^th May as part of an Erasmus Staff Mobility. We delivered a teaching session/workshop on maintaining professional knowledge in non-medical prescribing. Also during the visit we discuss non-medical prescribing in the UK and Finland highlighting similarities and differences and how we can work together particularly on assessment. We explored partnership opportunities for both staff and students and look forward to working with Tiina and Jonna (lecturers in prescribing at Laurea)
