How do we value subjective experiences in mental health research?

Are people’s experiences of depression, anxiety and psychosis properly integrated into mental health research?

Not really.

NHS England says that by 2026, patient feedback should reach clinicians + drive change.

At @careopinion.org.uk , we’ve been making that happen for 20 years.

Curious how it works?

A relative shared how @nhsforthvalley.bsky.social's #HospitalAtHome team cared for their 83-year-old mother during serious illness.

They described the support as holistic, responsive, and “life-changing".

Read the full story on @careopinion.org.uk 👇
www.careopinion.org.uk/1380285
The image has the Care Opinion logo, a house with a hospital emblem as decorative element and a direct quote, which reads the following: “I cannot stress enough how blown away we were by the care provided by the [Hospital at Home] team. It’s a holistic service which jumped into action, reviewed and changed all my mother’s medication and a team of nurses came in daily to look after her in the comfort of her own home.”

Every person in this story, from the midwife who acted in seconds to the domestic staff who brought a quiet cup of tea, made a difference at @nhshighland.scot.nhs.uk.

This is not a story that can be summed up in one quote. It’s one to be read in full and felt deeply. www.careopinion.org.uk/1369110
This image features a decorative element of an adult hand holding a baby’s hand, the Care Opinion logo, and a direct quote from the story, which reads as follows: “You gave our son the best start, and you gave us the strength and support to walk through it beside him. You were there at a time when we were at our most vulnerable, and you held us up. We will never, ever forget that.”

💬 “You have truly changed my life for the better.”

In a heartfelt story, one person shares the life-changing impact of receiving an #ADHD diagnosis later in life and the incredible support they received from Amanda & Mandy at @rdash-nhs.bsky.social throughout.

In this picture, there is a Care Opinion logo and some decorative elements along with a quote directly from the story, which reads the following: Thank you both (Amanda and Mandy) for your dedication and kindness. You have truly changed my life for the better, and I am deeply appreciative of everything you have done for me.
