Peer leadership in health and social care

Deb Owen, Peer Support Lead at Sussex Partnership NHS Trust joins us for a deep dive into lived experience leadership within health and social care settings.

Deb is author of Imroc Briefing Paper 26 ‘The Role of Lived Experience Within Health and Social Care Systems’ (with Emma Watson and Julie Repper – 2024).

Join us as together we explore what lived experience leadership really looks like in practice, and how we can build sustainable leadership pathways to drive meaningful change across Scotland’s mental health system.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Supporting peer leadership. This Peer Connects event is for people in Lived Experience and Peer Roles, Policy-makers, Commissioners and other professionals interested in peer leadership in health, social care, and community settings.
