A common experience, but looking for a new publisher following our proposal for a paediatric physical health book going all the way to the acquisitions meeting and.. ending at that point 😕. Co-author (@BeckyH_Psych) & I still eager to publish following a year of input. Time to find a new home!
Loved sharing resources from the ISUPPORT rights-based standards at Alder Hey this week!
Thank you Anna Simmons for co-ordinating, @kitkatied00.bsky.social for joining us and the health psychology and learning disability teams for supporting us 🤩

As part of the day we were able to launch lucky dip bags to help children attending for procedures. The money to provide them was raised by the hospital’s charity and donations from parents 🎈
Great day helping with the launch of iSUPPORT at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital 🥳. iSUPPORT is an international collaborative of rights-based standards for children having health care tests, treatments, examinations or interventions at hospital
