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
