It's the @ESNsocial European Social Services Awards tonight - with @AnneMarieGlasby and @DrBeckyBham on their way to Zagreb, representing @Positive_Lives and @unibirmingham - but more importantly, amplifying the voices of people still stuck in long-stay settings @NIHRresearch
So proud that our work on leaving long-stay hospitals has been shortlisted (for 'research and evaluation' under the title of 'Sharing the Voices of those who are Institutionalisded to Change Practice and Policy'). We're keen to avoid a 'nul points' situation, so please vote!!
