There’s a lot of tokenism in lived experience participation.

Whether it’s requests for unpaid keynotes “for the exposure!”, or politicians stopping by for a photo opp before disappearing, much needs to change.

Pleased to be 1 of 15 care experienced people to contribute to this paper. Open access 👇🏼
New paper led by @DrKatieEllis based on interviews with 15 prominent care experienced activists regarding their activism to achieve change in care systems. Thank you to all the participants for their insights.
