“(Almost) Everything you need to know about identifying, recruiting and supporting patients/service users as collaborators in education and research”

26^t^h November 2014, 1-2pm

A225, College Building, City University London

Join Professor Alan Simpson Professor of Collaborative Mental Health Nursing in the School of Health Sciences, City University London and Lead for the Centre for Mental Health Research, in exploring how educators and researchers often see the merits of involving patients or service users in their teaching or research studies and are keen to ‘give it a go’ but get waylaid in various worries, concerns and questions. Things like:

“How do I identify and engage suitable people?”

“What can I ask them to do?”

“What if the stress makes them ill?”

“Will the students listen to them?”

“What about training and support?”

During the seminar Professor Simpson will draw on research literature, his experiences and those of colleagues to explore some of these challenges and how best to address them.

Dear Colleagues

It is my pleasure to let you know that next year, from 12-14 November 2015, we will be holding the second ‘Where’s the Patient’s Voice in Health Professional Education?’ conference in Vancouver, ten years after our first conference in 2005.

As someone who has recently published in the field of patient/ client /service user involvement in the education of health or social care professionals, we hope that you may be interested in this follow-up conference, to hear about and share what has happened in the past 10 years and lessons learned, and to set directions for the future.

Please click on this link for further information Patients Voice_Save the Date. Please circulate this to any colleagues and patient / service user /community partners who might be interested in attending and help us to get the word out through your networks. We expect to circulate the Call for Abstracts in late November.
