We are particularly excited to announce that first of these seminars, taking place at the Lancaster campus on February 5th, will feature Dr Veenu Gupta, Assistant Professor in Lived Experience Research at Durham University, talking on Exploring the Personal and Professional Identities and Support Needs of Those In Lived Experience Roles.
Dr Gupta has lived experience of psychosis and has worked as an expert by experience for a number of clinical psychology programmes and the National Clinical Audit of Psychosis. Through these experiences she realised lived experience roles were complex and required navigating both personal and professional experiences, but which had a positive effect on her wellbeing, identity and recovery. As a consequence of this insight Veenu focused her PhD at University of Liverpool on understanding the impact of lived experience roles on the identity of those that perform them, identifying their support needs and how to personalise supervision for them. Veenu currently supports design of clinical trials for those with psychosis on the PUMA platform development trial, and the Metformin and Psychosis weight trial. Veenu continues to support lived experience work in a number of contexts across qualitative and quantitative research. Veenu uses insight from her PhD to provide lived experience researcher supervision to others. Veenu will discuss three recent publications from her PhD to identify lived experience researcher and provider's identity, support needs and how to navigate and negotiate issues they experience in their roles.
