Description | This paper describes the significance of a co-produced steering group within a project to introduce a new mental health peer worker role- the Lived Experience Practitioner (LXP) into a UK National Health Service (NHS) Trust. The steering group functions to guide decision making within the project. Through interactions between Lived Experience Practitioners, healthcare professionals and managers, meanings are negotiated and the space is co-constructed. The author will present qualitative findings from constructivist grounded theory PhD research examining how LXP roles are supported in an NHS Trust. Exploring how this steering group can be read as a relational space. This paper offers a timely discussion highlighting the complexity and value of co-producing governance structures as part of the process to support the lived experience workforce in mental health services. |
