Happy Easter Day 🐣
Yesterday in 2 separate meetings work I’d been involved in >10 yrs ago came back into the room.
I’d thought it was finished. It wasn’t. It had just… waited
Thinking of John O’Donohue’s line about seeds wakening even in winter
Not everything that pauses is over
A gentle Easter to those marking it
Over 100 abstracts submitted 4 #AICIC26 @ificinfo.bsky.social a real sense of the work happening across Ireland to redesign care around people.
Integrated care isn’t theoretical anymore It’s happening!
Next step: scaling it from local initiatives 2 coherent national systems.
Looking forward 2May.
Assessing quality of action research using the Quality Assessment Action Research Checklist (QuARC): A hybrid systematic narrative review I'll post when its published
Paper just accepted looks at how we assess quality in action research.
Findings: we’re good at describing context, less so at relationships reflexivity & theory.
If action research is central to #learninghealthsystems, this matters more than we think.
More soon.

Marking the close of the EU H2020 @ROSIA project.
A real example of what it takes to deliver change across systems: partnership persistence & staying with complexity.
Grateful for the learning, collaboration & the friendships built along the way.
The work continues.

Chaired the opening session at #WiMIN26 today @womenmedireland.bsky.social .
Not “there yet” but better conversations.
Less about naming problems more about understanding how things actually work.

When I was a child, I sang in Patrick and the Bells, a local production led by a priest who believed in young people.
Looking back, it was more than music. It was community, what some call #liensocial the bonds that hold us together.
