South West Provider Collaborative shortlisted for the National Lived Experience Awards 2025
We are delighted to announce that our South West Provider Collaborative has been selected as a finalist in this year's National Lived Experience Awards, sponsored by Cygnet Group, with its entry: 'Working in partnership to transform outcomes for people with mental health conditions' in the Outstanding Leadership category.
The National Lived Experience Awards are designed to recognise and celebrate the achievements of individuals accessing mental health, learning disability and autism services nationwide.
Since April 2024, our co-production achievements have been made possible by the courage, enthusiasm and dedication of our Experts by Experience. With experience of inpatient services across AED, adult secure, perinatal and CAMHS Tier 4, they bring a unique perspective and challenge to the future design of specialised mental health services.
Anne Forbes, Director of Collaborative Commissioning, said: "This is a fantastic achievement for our Collaborative. We are committed to working collaboratively with service users, families, carers and staff to shape our services. This nomination recognises this commitment and the importance of embedding co-production in our everyday practice. Well done to everyone involved."
The selected winners will be announced during the awards ceremony on 23 September at Colwick Hall in Nottingham.
