I’m looking for a little help with my PhD research: a service evaluation to understand how GPs assess and manage ppl presenting with #tinnitus & #hyperacusis.

If you’re a #GP, your insights are incredibly valuable. The short, confidential survey takes around 10–15 mins.

Scan QR or link in thread

Doctors can't prescribe anything for tinnitus, so they think they can't do anything. At least in the UK, they can refer to audiology services. Resources from @tinnitusuk.bsky.social can be helpful, too, as self-management is universal

I’m inviting #GPs to take part in a short service evaluation on #tinnitus & #hyperacusis management in #PrimaryCare

Your experience can help shape better care for people living with these conditions.

Every day, GPs help people living with #tinnitus or #hyperacusis, but we know support varies across the UK. Please help us identify what resources & training could make a difference.

Good day yesterday - we had a School of Medicine post-grad event where I won the award for best discussion 🏆. My colleague and I then had a stroll round the lake on campus, picking up an ice cream 🍦 along the way - just what was needed to decompress 😀

I know Lego have called this set a hamster, but I think it looks like a guinea pig! My Valentine's gift from my partner ❤️

Off to London today, hence the #trainselfie. I'm attending the launch of @tinnitusuk.bsky.social 's Tinnitus Week report at the House of Lords. Rather smart!

Looking forward to seeing others from the tinnitus community and catching up!

Daffodils are such a cheerful flower and a reminder that winter and darkness always pass. And at £1 a bunch, they are an absolute bargain - I've filled this jug for a couple of quid, and the colour and scent really lift the spirits!

We had a great day in Ipswich yesterday - lunch at Noodle 92 and then off to New Wolsey Theatre, where we saw a three person production of David Copperfield. I'm not a Dickens fan, but this was excellent - engaging, energetic, funny, moving.

No big thesis-shaped document yet. Just steady progress, and dagnabbit, I'm going to celebrate just moving forward! 😀
