I’m honoured to have lectured at the School of Medicine at Cambridge University about the psychological effects of the traumatic events in my homeland. Thank you Professor @PaulWilkinson52 for providing me with a platform. The high table dinner at Emmanuel College was AMAZING!

Why do we involve people with lived experience of SMI in our research? Meet Dr Annabel Walsh, co-leading an MHP project championing the voices of people with lived experience of severe mental illness. #worldmentalhealthday #WMHD #WMHD24 @McPinFoundation @UKRI_News @The_MRC

Many of the tools & methods we use for innovation are designed for "developmental" innovation; incremental improvement to existing products & services. The gap between where we are now & where we need to be is so big that we need much more "radical" innovation. This kind of innovation is qualitative & not quantitative in nature — it is not about size of the change but the kind of change. We cannot deliver radical innovation using developmental innovation approaches. We need different practices & tools for different forms of change & innovation. That is one of the biggest challenges for changemakers of our era. See: medium.com/the-emergent-f…. By Jason Frasca of @ACFuturesLab

‘England’s mental health care lacks money, yes – but it also lacks compassion’. New article from me for @guardian emphasising the paradigm shift we need is as much about ideology as funding. Can we seize the moment? Can we afford not to? #IatrogenicHarm theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
