My former office mate @GavinQWylie reflects on his preparation for the viva.

Helpful:
Read your thesis (+maybe stick it full of #PostIt notes)
Mock viva (very much!)

Not so much:
Read a book about doing a viva.

...consultations between clinicians & patients are a negotiation between equals

Very happy to be working with @stitchinoz on the support needs of parents of premature infants following their baby’s discharge home.

These transitions and especially the post-discharge care are under-researched and a potential support gap.
