I still can’t believe I have won the 2025 European Association for Palliative Care Early Researcher Award! 🍀 Thank you to the @eapcvzw.bsky.social for the award, and thank you for all the kind and encouraging words I’ve received over the last days. I really really appreciate it!

Our next speakers are Dr Andrea Bruun & Amanda Cresswell from Kingston University London who are telling delegates about the Victoria & Stuart Project, which explores the development and use of an end-of-life care planning toolkit for people with learning disabilities #InclusiveCare #EndOfLifeCare

Earlier this year I was lucky to be invited to talk about The Victoria & Stuart Project at the International Better Conversations Conference 2025💫 Lovely to see so many SLTs interested in the toolkit and asking such good questions. Thanks for a great conference and for having me! #BetterConv2025

So proud to have been involved in The Victoria & Stuart Project! @victstuproject.bsky.social

"The remarkable project reaches an under-served community and provides numerous accessible resources around the often neglected area of end of life care planning with people with learning disabilities." The Victoria and Stuart Project wins the ASDS Public Engagement Award. @tuffrey-wijne.com #ddd17

Check out our new paper! 📰 We learned a lot about how the end-of-life care planning toolkit works in practice - and a lot about how to evaluate things in the future (talking to peole and short and straightforward surveys!). The toolkit is still available on: www.victoriaandstuart.com

💡 NEW PAPER PUBLISHED 💡 We tested our toolkit with Support Workers, who said they had lovely eye-opening conversations with the people they support. They also said that printing the resources is a challenge during a busy workday (our new Print & Deliver project to the rescue!). We learned a lot!

🎬THAT'S A WRAP🎬 Yesterday we recorded a video for our brand-new Print and Deliver project. We have partnered up with Marie Curie UK to offer printed copies of the toolkit resources for free. This means that later this year you'll be able to get our resources delivered directly to your door! 🕊️

Last year I was so lucky to be awarded one of the Kingston University First Grants Schemes🌠My project is a small-scale Conversation Analysis pilot study where I'm video-recording conversations between patients with a learning disability and hospice staff. Read all about it in our new protocol paper!
