Our first keynote reflected a very contemporary issue, that of Workforce
Wellbeing and Coping during COVID-19 and beyond, and triangulated three
perspectives on the value of research in health and social care. The session was
chaired by Marian O'Rourke, NISCC, who emphasised the crucial need and value
of partnership work and the involvement of those with lived experience. It
triangulated presentations from Dr Paula McFadden - Ms Sonia Patton - Ms
Lisa Morrison.
Drawing both on a detailed research study exploring how an individual
worker's mental wellbeing impacts on them, their work, service user
experiences and the organisation, Paula's presentation was complemented by
some invaluable and at times appropriate challenging inputs by Sonia and Lisa,
drawing on personal lived experiences, wider patient, service users and carers
views coupled with expertise in training and workforce development
How does research ensure that service users are not only heard but listened to?
Lisa is a trainer and consultant with extensive experience working both locally
and regionally to educate on, and ensure co-production is more than a tick box
exercise.
