Women’s prisons: how can we engage lived experience to improve primary care for women with severe mental illness?
Led by Tammi Walker, Hannah King, Paula Harriott, Carolyn Chew-Graham and Fleur Riley
 
 
The team are conducting a study exploring how women in prison with severe mental illness engage with primary care services such as general practice, mental health services, dental care, etc. The project is supported by a Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG) of 11 women with diverse backgrounds and experiences of prison. This session will outline the role of the LEAG within the research project across three phases.  
  • Phase one includes conducting needs analyses and research training with LEAG members, co-developing data collection and evaluation tools and co-analysing data. 
  • Phase two is the production of creative outputs for women in prison and prison researchers, co-developed with LEAG members and artists. 
  • Phase three involves dissemination to a range of key stakeholders, including women in prison, co-designed and co-facilitated with the LEAG. 
 
Discussion will focus on how investing in LEAG members’ development contributes to meaningful lived experience engagement in the research. 
 

Whether you are a healthcare professional, researcher, or simply interested in the topic, this event is for you.
