Strengths Based Social Care


This was a commission by a local authority in London, it came out of a live event where I drew out people's ideas at the event, and then these were worked up and used in this short booklet to help social workers focus on this way of working, that empowers individuals to have agency and a say in their own futures.

Online Scribing, Healthcare Educators

This summer I was asked to scribe this meeting remotely, so I was working on my Ipad, and the meeting was held online. This was all about educators in teaching hospitals and whether they had the support they needed in order to deliver the training for the next generation of healthcare professionals. 

Basically, if there is no protected time (or space) then you end up sitting in a cupboard to join the online meeting and not having a lunch break (it's that bad..)






Radiation Services, The North West

 I was asked to create an explainer poster for the radiographers in the North West of England. 

The region is struggling to recruit and retain staff, so I'm hoping this assists them explain their vision for their new ways of working.



Merton Young People's Plan

A 'you said we did' explainer, for London Borough of Merton's Young People. 
An ambitious list!


 

London School of Economics, Postgraduate Poster

A piece of work for a postgrad research project at the London School of Economics.

I was asked to represent the findings of the project as an A2 size poster (click on the image to see more detail), this was mainly about the galvanising impact of activism, and that even though everyday life was still a struggle, the main impact of being part of the disability activism movement was one of  collective and individual joy as well as lifelong friendship and learning.

Neighbourhood Healthcare Forum, Whitechapel, London

This meeting was all about the healthcare needs of local people people in Whitechapel. 

The needs of the group were about accessing timely healthcare interventions and basic access to GP appointments, these concerns reflect the current situation nationally, as since 2020 there have been a lot less GP appointments available.
