Co-production and lived experience research: The case study of the PEGASUS project
The Centre for Mental Health Research at the School of Health and Medical Sciences, City St George's, University of London welcome Jessica Catchpole and Jerry Padfield to discuss the joys and pitfalls of co-production and work as Lived Experience Researchers, as part of the SHMS research seminar series.
About the seminar
Tune in on 10th February to hear your CMHR Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Co-Leads Jessica and Jerry talk co-production: the good, the bad, and the ugly. They’ll discuss what it is, what it isn’t, and the joys and pitfalls we’ve encountered along the way. We’ll also talk about our work as Lived Experience Researchers, what we bring, and why representation matters. There’ll be time at the end for questions, and we’re also outside of the meetings to have a chat about all things PPI and co-pro.
