#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. 👏🏽

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

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

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and the Menopause: From understanding to management Research has identified that women with ADHD are often undiagnosed, untreated and more likely to have depression and anxiety. This has led to calls to examine the role of female hormones in ADHD.

Supervised by Dr Ellie Dommett and the ADHD Research Lab, we're looking for prospective students for a new PhD studentship to research the relationship between #ADHD and #menopause, and better support processes. #MedSky #AcademicSky
