It sounds like a great event, and I really like the idea of finding ways to make research more accessible, and published in places not limited to academic journals. Were there any specific suggestions made about how/where to publish more practitioner-focused research summaries?
One of the things that VSSN are thinking about is whether we could usefully produce 2 page summaries following each of our day seminars, which focus on different topics, and which could include links to related research evidence.
Please do share thoughts of what you think would be useful

As a member I used to receive daily digests. These no longer appear in my email inbox. Can you let me know why?

Hi Lindsey, Thanks for your comments and apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
There was a suggestion that more (and more accessible) 2-4 page summaries of research would be helpful – similar to TSRC’s Briefing Papers (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/generic/tsrc/publications/index.aspx)
