@NRS_MH @TheTealTigerUK Veenu's PhD research was about understanding the identity of lived experience researchers and providers.

Veenu conducted a systematic narrative review: here it is.

@NRS_MH @TheTealTigerUK Dr Veenu Gupta has experience as a service user, as a health professional and as a researcher. She will reflect on her circular journey of going from being a patient diagnosed with psychosis to working in research, to becoming a patient again.

@NRS_MH @NagorePenades @NHSGGC @DocRobWaller @dataloch There were 160k uses of the semi-structured questionnaires in NHS Lothian.

So we need to think about what this data is, and what it isn't.

We want usable data analysis, not dumps, ideally near real-time, and supporting service development.

[The Mental Elf @Mental_Elf]

@NRS_MH @NagorePenades @NHSGGC @DocRobWaller @dataloch Their solution was working on the forms in TRAK

These were redesigned around patient and user needs.

@NRS_MH @UofGRegiusAnna @NIHRresearch Why do we need this, asks @UofGRegiusAnna?

1) Health inequality (worsening)
2) Current health system is financially unsustainable
3) Investment will lover demand, increase productivity and reduce costs.
