In this episode, host and Fuse public partner, Sadia Mir, speaks with Fuse researchers Floor Christie-de Jong and Rawand Jarrar about their research on improving Muslim women's cancer screening uptake.

Floor and Rawand share some of their own experiences and lessons learned along the way, share advice on collaborating with the Muslim community, and touch on what’s next for the research.

The UC Creatives journey: From academic research to empowerment through the arts

Host and Fuse public partner, Cheryl Blake, speaks with Mel and PJ who are members of UC Creatives - a participatory arts project co-produced with people who have experience of claiming Universal Credit (UC). Using personal experiences and stories, they talk about how to set up a group like this, who is involved with UC Creatives and what opportunities have emerged from the project. Mel and PJ share how this experience differs from simply being asked to 'take part' in research, and they touch on what’s next for the UC Creatives. Mel and PJ also answer the big question: "If you had one message for our listeners to take away, what would it be?" Listen now to find out. About the guestsMel and PJ are members of UC Creatives. The project is part of the public involvement and impact work of a large-scale mixed methods evaluation of the health impacts of UC. UC Creatives is a collaboration with members of the public with experience of UC, researchers from Newcastle University and Northumbria University, and practitioners from the St Vincent de Paul Society Deaf Centre. UC Creatives is the result of a committed and passionate organising team, including seven wonderful creative people with experience of claiming UC.

Piecing it together: Understanding school exclusion through creativity

In this episode of the Fuse ‘Public Health Research and Me’ podcast, host and Fuse public partner, Cheryl Blake, speaks with Dr Sarah Martin-Denham (University of Sunderland) and Hayley Hudson (parent and advocate) about the impact of school exclusion, especially on children and young people themselves. Data shows that on average, 2,999 children were suspended or permanently excluded from school each school day in England in the 2021/22 academic year. But what does this number really mean? Sarah and Hayley recommend that creative methods can play a crucial role in helping us to visualise and better understand what this number represents for many families across England. They talk about working with a team of parents to crochet 2,999 unique squares to represent each excluded child and provide a voice to an under-served section of society, resulting in a giant, colourful blanket. The blanket is touring national organisations, local authorities, schools and community groups in England to encourage conversations about the extent and impact of school exclusion and what can be done to reduce preventable exclusions. Sarah and Hayley talk about their personal experiences, key findings from the research and suggest areas for improvement and change. Sarah and Hayley also answer the big question: "If you had one message for our listeners to take away, what would it be?" Listen now to find out.
