Colette

So inspired by Colette Lane, Professional Lead for Lived Experience at Surrey and Borders Partnership. How as pharmacy professionals can we bring lived experience expertise into our service development programmes and everything we do to really make things better for the people we care for? #cmhp25

Welcome to the #CMHP25 Memorial Lecture given by Colette Lane, Professional Lead for Lived Experience Development at Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, who is going to talk about Embedding Lived Experience at the Heart of Transformation.

Colette is joining live via Zoom.

THREAD 🧵

Colette is telling us about the Aldershot Safe Havens project that started in 2014 - the first true coproduction project that she worked on (an alternative to out of hours A&E).

We were not building a service FOR people. We were building a service WITH people. #CMHP25

Career progression pathways for people with lived experience being developed to work as peer workers is a huge step forward for MH services. ‘Lived experience should never be seen as an add on’ #cmhp25

#LivedExperience in #Leadership

A stirring close to the Memorial Lecture at #CMHP25: honest partnership and true coproduction are the foundations of meaningful mental health reform.

Thanks+ to Colette Lane for a great start to the conference here in Liverpool. 👏🏽

Colette Lane told us that transformation without lived experience isn’t transformation at all.

Anita Solanki highlighted the hormone–mental health connection & the vital role of pharmacists in conversations.

Marc Williams examined climate distress & how professionals can respond #CMHP25

That’s a wrap on Day 1 of #CMHP25 at the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool.

Powerful sessions from Colette Lane on embedding lived experience at the heart of transformation, plus keynotes from Anita Solanki on menopause and Marc Williams on climate distress. 🧵

Really interesting to consider whether short term psychological interventions can be helpful or useful in the treat bpd? #bigspd25

Thought provoking session about Psychologically Informed Leadership. “Relational trauma requires relational repair” #bigspd25

The first talk - Relational practice - making hope possible rather than despair convincing - great title

Very excited to be at #bigspd25
