What can we do about this? @MichaelMarmot argues that we must take action on the social determinants of health, and that this action is not unactable.

Professionalising lived experience involvement may just ensure lived experts drive change and improvements in service delivery & design.

Loved hearing from Nuala Watt, poet and activist @ALLIANCEScot conference. Such powerful poetry and observations. As a Mum I particularly enjoyed this poem.

@ALLIANCEScot OK so #OurVoicesMatter just dropped the concept of #seismicshift in Health services on my head. @UniStrathclyde The incredible Margaret Moncrieff is so inspiring in her battle for lived experience-led and holistic care for long-term health conditions.
