York Festival of Ideas 2023 - On Monday 12th June, our very own Claire Carswell, DIAMONDS Research Fellow, chaired a panel discussion on the topic of Reimagining Healthcare: Treating the body and mind.
Last week our very own Claire Carswell, DIAMONDS Research Fellow hosted a panel event as part of York Festival of Ideas discussing the overlap between mental and physical health. The panel included service users, carers, researchers and healthcare professionals.
Members of DIAMONDS Voice, including Gary Hellewell, a service user discussed his own experiences of mental and physical health, and Alison Potts, a carer who described
the difficulties of navigating the healthcare system.
IMRY Director Professor Lina Gega, recollected how, during her time as a mental health nurse, she saw first-hand how untreated physical health problems can have as detrimental an effect on a person as mental health problems.
Ramsha Hussain one of our DIAMONDS Coaches spoke about how more needs to be done to get mental health NHS trusts and acute hospital NHS trusts to work together to coordinate the delivery of effective and comprehensive patient care.
