Member’s Panel – Transforming Care Network

This workshop provides a friendly space and protected time for writing. It is organised by the Member’s Panel coordinators and Prof. Serena Vicario. This activity is designed for researchers and students who are conducting their research in social care or related topics and are producing written outputs of any type (journal articles, PhD thesis, posters, grant applications, ethics approval, CVs, etc.). During the group, participants may: share experiences and knowledge around their topics, discuss challenges around the writing, provide and receive critical feedback on their written output, built relationships potentially leading to future collaborations. In the next months, the sessions may also represent for the participants a supportive and informed environment to progress towards the submission of the conference papers for the 2025 Transforming Care Conference (June 25-27, Helsinki).

The sessions will be held online and last 3 hours. The schedule will be the following:

10.30-10.45 | Greeting and introductions. Share goals for the work session

10.45-12.00 | Work on individual projects: writing, editing, reading, making citations, etc.

12.00-12.15 | Comfort break. Participants can socialise, connect and informally discuss their work between them.

12.15-13.15 | Work on individual projects

13.15-13.30 | Reflections on how the session went. Optionally, participants may share what the next step in their process is.

There are only a limited number of seats available on a first-come, first-served basis. We plan to hold additional writing workshops based on demand from TCN members.

One of the goals of Transforming Care Network is to foster an open and participatory
environment that effectively articulates and advances the needs and engagement of its
members. With this purpose in mind, the TCN Members’ Panel was initiated earlier this
year.

The Members’ Panel aims to provide a platform for TCN members to exchange ideas and
experiences about research and publishing, as well as share their work with others. The
Panel can also provide input on how to advance the Transforming Care Network and
improve the quality and organisation of the conferences. The Panel activities are member-based and member-driven, and are mainly announced via the TCN Mailing list, so do sign up for this, see further below.

We are very happy that Dr. Gülçin Con Wright and Dr. Rosie Read have agreed to act
as coordinators of the TCN Members’ Panel. They can be reached here:
gulcin.con@tedu.edu.tr and rread@bournemouth.ac.uk.

One of the first activities has been the organisation with Prof. Serena Vicario of the TCN Members’ Panel Writing Workshop which will continue with two upcoming sessions in the spring term.

Do not hesitate to contact the TCN Member’s Panel coordinators through the mailing list or directly to propose and organise new activities.
