New paper in Soc Sci & Medicine in which Natalie Armstrong, Chris Williams and I argue that at times of deterioration care home residents are seen as ‘out of place’ in both care home and hospital settings doi.org/10.1016/j.socs… [1/5] 🧵

Fabulous day Royal British Legion Galanos House to explore residents’ views on using virtual reality headsets. Had lunch in Galanos House and The Community Hub & Cafe and managed to catch up with Jo Wilson MBE RN QN Jane Tuck RN to discus a study in the pipeline.
