UK Mental Health 2.0 2011

UK Mental Health 2.0 2011Communities of Practice Vs The Status Quo

My experience is the context

2004 - 2005

Grass roots development

Managing mental health services

Messing about with ‘social media’ stuff

Lack of local knowledge & info for mental health service users

Positioned myself

Community of Practice

A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share an interest, a craft, and/or a profession. The group can evolve naturally because of the members' common interest in a particular domain or area, or it can be created specifically with the goal of gaining knowledge related to their field. It is through the process of sharing information and experiences with the group that the members learn from each other, and have an opportunity to develop themselves personally and professionally (Lave & Wenger 1991).

UK Health & Social Care

People are talking…

From within:

www.thebigwhitewall.com - localised health care providing National Resource – log in, sharing stories.

From within (specialist):

www.puzzledout.com - young people influencing offline world mental health service design online.

The space between:

www.patientopinion.co.uk - Department of Health funded independent start up.Initiating feedback and dialogue between service users & services

On the outside looking in (& out):

www.mindapples.org - An Independent portfolio funded non profit social enterprise – backers from public health to retailers

Data, Data, Data:

Quantified Self came out of work by @accarmichael who is behind www.curetogether.com - this is the taking of data for own purpose. Mood tracking etc@carlosrizo runs this meet up local to you.

But this is all service related isn’t it?

It didn’t start like that.

This is all about Power and Control.

But then, it always is.

What do service users want?

High Royds – Leeds Also known as the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum

The risks are also mental health opportunities

Triage approach to cultural change

Who else do you need to be talking too?

Observing independent models, journalistic models

Understanding ‘failure’

Getting the principles – and not getting tied to the platform or Political understanding

Economic drivers

How it relates to what you will be doing – what is your role? Where do you sit in this picture?

How do you legislate for sustainability in a fast

changing economic world?
