Congratulations to Michaela Pawley on passing her PhD viva! Michaela’s PhD showed that specific sleep behaviours in adolescence are meaningful risk factors for later self-harm and reported suicide attempts, making sleep health a potential target for prevention.

Celebrating the 30th Anniversay of Pain ConcernLink opens in a new window, the Pain Matters editorial team has put together a comprehensive evidence-based manual for navigating pain (issue #89). Our lab's updated leaflet - Getting a good night's sleep - was one of the featured articles.

Pocketmags offers a smart phone friendly digital version of the full Pain Matters. This is for a cost of £1.75/issue for subscribers. This comes with access to our whole digital back catalogue and audio option at no extra cost. Every subscription supports our work. At the end of October, issues 88 and 89 will become 'special' issues — and remain — free of charge on Pocketmags.

Hot off the press! Click here for a summary or here for the full paper (open access).

Very happy that students in the lab are thriving and enjoying what they do! Occasionally, their daily grind gets recognised.

Congratulations to :

- Michaela Pawley for winning the PGR day best presentation award

- Peter To for securing funds to host and lead a R-workshop

- Lauren Wilkinson for winning the William Campbell Prize at the British Pain Society Annual Scientific Meeting, Newport, Wales
