I came home to Canada to do health research, and have seen the consequences of underinvesting by the federal government. @FilomenaTassi We need to support health research funding in Canada - it helps all Canadians. #ResearchIsTheSolution #CDNHealth.

This, on death and even ICU emergence, is quite something even though the narrator isn’t someone you’d associate with this. Worth 3 mins if you have time.

A man wanting to jump off a bridge in London was talked down by strangers who held him for an hour until help arrived. Look at that grip. Look at the care, compassion, selflessness, and determination shown by strangers to a hurting human being. We need more of this in the world.

What a privilege to present at #NPBIC22 to introduce the systemic inequities that may block families from accessing care. Fabulous audience engagement online and in the room. Thank you @Childrens_Trust for having me.

So grateful to hear from @DrMPhoenix at #NPBIC22 today 🤩 love that the phrase “hard to reach” is reframed to ‘hard to access services’. #ABI rehab can be a space to celebrate families, respect their identities and acknowledge/ act on barriers that exist @Childrens_Trust
