PPI Lead for EPICare – supporting the involvement of public members with lived experience of psychosis or experience of providing care/support to someone with lived experience in the design and delivery of EPICare.

Route to this role: I started my career in PPI when I joined the Institute for Mental Health, University of Birmingham in 2018. At that point, I worked to set up a pathway for the involvement of young experts by experience in the involvement of the Institute through forming and sustaining the engagement of the IMH Youth Advisory Group. Since then, I have taken on a role in the School where my role is more focussed around working on funded projects and capacity building.
