services cannot afford to allow the
insight and other life skills that
people using health and social
care services possess to continue
to go to waste’

Patient Leaders
This is relatively short so it’s just a taster
I’m going to start with a video showing some key principles and then give some examples of how this applies in mental health
All of this is supported by a blog on physiotalk.co.uk with more links and a list of x people and organisations for you to start with
You start with patient leaders – people who are using their experience of mental health and public sector services to call for change and improvement
Alison Cameron is a leading example, but there any many, many people using twitter to demonstrate how healthcare services can fall short of expectations, and also approaches that can make a huge difference
Then campaigns calling for change
On twiter these take the form of hashtags
Then organisations
Last but not least healthcare professionals – UK and internationally, AHPs, nurses,
Just remember it’s all about learning and sharing with people - use your communications skills as an AHP and you can’t go far wrong
The rest is just learning what buttons to use
And for that we’ll here to help on the social media stand
Thank you and any quick questions?
