In the launch episode, ‘Making the most of existing data’, host Milena Wuerth, Research Assistant, King’s College London is joined by Amelia Jewell, Research Informatics and Governance Lead for the Clinical Records Interactive Search (CRIS), South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, to discuss how data linkage can be like ‘patching the holes’; By linking mental health data with administrative datasets like census, the data starts to tell us about patterns of inequality in mental health. Amelia discusses some of the challenges of linking large-scale data and the importance of patient involvement in this so that data can be turned into a tool for change.

Episode 12: Hong Kongers in the UK: Identity and Belonging
In the aftershock of the large-scale social movements in Hong Kong in 2019, over 100,000 Hong Kong migrants came to the UK since 2021. This episode, hosted by UCL Research Assistant Joseph Lam (@Jo_Lam_), sheds light on the lived experience of these migrants, asking what a Hong Konger identity means to them, and what communities can do to help them integrate.
Zara Asif (@Zara_Asif) is a research assistant and PhD student at the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health at King’s College London. Zara led the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Directory for Refugees and Migrants in Greater London.
