I’ve just started lecturing at UOB (I didn’t think I’d be doing this again!) and have been looking for some ideas for discussing the ‘customer service’ side of Service Design. I remembered the 2nd Q Lab. I’ve just had another look at the output from this Lab and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. Not only that but detail of how we worked to…Read more

Hi,
I’m Will Bostock GP and director of Cambridge Progressive Medicine. I have recently started on the NHS clinical entrepreneurs’ scheme and am developing a project which aims to create a structured primary care programme that explores health beliefs as a direct therapeutic target. It is designed to address mental and physical health in a sin…Read more

Hello Will, I am very much interested in taking part in your programme. As a mental health practitioner for over 15 years and someone who suffers with long term pain management I look forward to contributing in anyway possible.
-
Hi Louise,
That is great. The three most recent episodes of the podcast are all about long term pain. I would be very interested in your insights to the content as a HCP with lived experience.

Hi Will, I’d be interested to know more about this. Reducing opiate prescribing in chronic pain is high up the agenda but I am concerned about ensuring we can offer people an alternative to support with their self-management.

Hi Sonal,
Thank you for your interest. Yes it is certainly a challenge. The new NICE guidance recommends very little for primary pain, but we may feel pressure to prescribe when it feels like there is no good alternative. There is, however, a mounting body of evidence for successful interventions focused on health education and alternative…Read more

About this group
This group is for people interested in mental health and persistent pain.
It was created as part of the Q Lab’s project, in partnership with Mind, focusing on the experiences of people living with both mental health problems and persistent back and neck pain, and how care can be designed to best meet their health and wellbeing needs.
Those involved in the project as Lab participants are invited to join, as well as Q members who may have an interest or expertise in the topic area more broadly.
This group is a space to connect with others and we hope it will be a place for open conversations and discussions on this topic.
Please note this is a public group (anyone can see the discussions, although people will need to log in or create an account to post to the group).
This group is convened by Jo Scott
Hi Tom,
Seems ages since we last spoke. In Worcestershire, we are presently preparing for the change to ICS on 1 July. The legislation setting up the ICS contains several clauses that make it mandatory for patient and public views to be taken into account when designing services.
My email address is now dtrig@hotmail.com

David
That’s great to hear Tom – thanks for letting us know.
