On 24 November 2022, the SPRINT Project's Kirsty Brown presented the protocol for her scoping review on athletes' perspectives on help-seeking for mental health at the GAMeS International Mental Health and Sport Conference.
Organised by the Global Alliance for Mental Health and Sport, the three-day conference took place at the University of Wollongong, Australia with Kirsty joining online to give her presentation from the UK.
In her talk, Kirsty also reflected on how her experiences of working on the TLC study (Therapies for Long COVID) influenced the review and the use of patient and public involvement.

She is supervised by Prof Jennifer Cumming, Dr Mary Quinton, and Dr Grace Tidmarsh.
