I am excited to present at the Association for Cancer Physicians conference this weekend.

Rosie Tansley and I are talking on research we have done in our (disabled) community over the past three years:

and exploring practical ways to recognise it, challenge it, and move forward with confidence.

A supportive space filled with shared experiences, reassurance, and real strategies. 💬✨ #SCDTP2026CL

Good morning from Cumberland Lodge!

A fresh start to the day with sunshine ☀️ over the Great Park & a full programme ahead.

Looking forward to more thoughtful discussions, shared ideas, and time together as our SCDTP community continues to connect and reflect

But first, breakfast! #SCDTP2026CL

Our usual walk to the big horse at the #SCDTP2026CL residential was rewarded nicely with sunshine and a welcoming committee of deer. Nicely arranged Tom!

I had a very energising first day of the @scdtp.bsky.social Cumberland Lodge residential.

Creating webs of connections, spending reflective time out in nature. Talking well-being.

I also got to make this beaut with the Badge Cafe before dinner and a sing-along.

Perfection.

On my way to @scdtp.bsky.social Cumberland Lodge residential.

Coffee for a cold morning before seeing everyone, meeting some of the new cohort, and reflecting on research practice and well-being.

And karaoke, of course.

Alongside this, they’re reflecting on the journey from postdoctoral researcher to mentor — what it means to build trust, navigate changing roles, and foster supportive, meaningful research relationships. 💬 SCDTP2026CL

Sunshine, great company, and plates of spaghetti bolognese — the perfect lunchtime moment here at Cumberland Lodge 🍝🌿

A well-earned break before we head into the afternoon sessions! #SCDTP2026CL

Students are deep in discussion during student-facilitated sessions.. exchanging ideas, challenging perspectives, & connecting research to real-world issues.

The rooms are buzzing with curiosity, collaboration & fresh thinking.

This is what research community looks like in action. #SCDTP2026CL

And the string photo opportunities got better and better

Our annual #SCDTP2026CL residential is underway with students connecting and belonging (and yes there is string involved)
