ESCR Workshop: Re-imagining Professionalism in Mental Health: Towards Co-production

hold hands

The second in the ESCR seminar series Re-imagining Professionalism in Mental Health: Toward Co-Production, this seminar will focus on co-production in action in order to identify and discuss the facilitators and inhibitors of power-sharing. The seminar will draw out the implications for practitioner and service user identity, for the division of labour, and for the status of professional and lay knowledge. 

The seminar will take place on 17 February at St Catherine's College, University of Oxford. The seminar has been developed in collaboration with the Centre for Values Based Practice, University of Oxford.

Speakers and participants at the seminar series will come from diverse groups: service users, carers, professionals working in third sector, and public and statutory organisations, and academics. Academics in the research team are from diverse disciplinary backgrounds: mental health nursing, philosophy, political science, psychiatry, social work and sociology. Together we aim to build network of expertise which will inform the values and practices of mental health care.

 

Five travel bursaries are available for each of the following groups:

  • Service users and carers 
  • Employees working in third sector organisations 
  • Early career researchers

To apply for a bursary please visit the website.

This event is free, but space is limited, so please register by 8 February 2016 here.
