Strengthening Care in collaboration with People with lived Experience of psychosis in UGANDA (SCAPE-U)

Dr Byamah Mutamba

Mental health services are most effective and equitable when designed, delivered, and evaluated in collaboration with people with lived experience of mental illness. Dr Mutamba discusses experiences and lessons learned from the SCAPE-U study in which people with lived experience of psychosis are involved in service delivery improvements at primary care, community, and home levels using Photovoice as a medium.

Using Photovoice to inform Experience based Co-design Meetings with Marginalised Populations

Dr Roisin Mooney

Roisin Mooney is a senior postdoctoral fellow and project manager in the CHiMES Collaborative Group, in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford. Her work focusses on recognising and addressing different forms of inequality in health care systems. Much of Roisin’s work has been centred around foregrounding the voices of those with relevant lived experience at all levels of research. Roisin was the Co-PI for the Co-PACT study and is a Co-Investigator on the Co-PICS study which she will talk about. Co-PACT explored the disproportionate sectioning of racialised populations under the Mental Health Act in the UK, using photovoice as a novel and creative policy-research tool to engage service users as co-researchers. Co-PICS is an experience-based co-design study exploring care of people from diverse ethnic groups living with psychosis and multimorbidity. Both projects are/were funded by the NIHR.
