Patients as Partners

A recent piece of work highlighting the benefits of patients and clinicians working in partnership for better outcomes for recipients of their services. 

This one was for Crohn's and Colitis UK, and started in Sheffield, but similar projects are running around the country, and this particular project is also looking to expand and grow. People with lived experience can contribute to better future services. Inspiring work!
 

National Policing Event - Towards a Trauma Informed Police Force

I was called up on Monday to do a job up in Birmingham on Tuesday and Wednesday! Here's an output from day 1. All about making the police force a force for good - more compassionate, understanding and kind. 

This is because a huge proportion of people who get involved in crime and are involved in violence are themselves victims of trauma. 

The aim is to become a trauma-informed force, in order to stop the endless cycle of reoffending and generational trauma.

This was day 2. In order to be better informed and not to work with biased information - you've got to follow the data. Data is king! In data we trust.
