The time has come to start to put a story together.  The previous months and years since 2005 when I started this PhD have been spent getting the data and then breaking it down, finally the time has come to tentatively put words together to create a story that does justice to people's  narratives about the depression in their lives.  Small steps initially, so will be starting with the first two of Kleinman's 8 questions - feedback from my PhD Supervisors will give me an indication as to whether I am on the right track.

Christmas is the deadline for this first piece of writing........

At last........my final monies from the LPTR Award are secure and can be accessed for ongoing dissemination.  The Health Foundation have been brilliant and have come to an agreement within their organisation to let me access the final monies via them rather than via the original contracted arrangement.  Great news and thanks to them - means that my dissemination plans for 2009 and beyond should hopefully materialise.
