Emma Harris
I have been a service user co-lead for HSC since Nov 2020, and have been on the steering group since the Citizens Academy was formed being key in ideas and supporting building content for the website.
My main focus is working with service users for teaching, curriculum planning and recruiting, which are crucial due to their values, experiences and humanistic approach, which can enhance the student's knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, behaviours and natural empathetic abilities, therefore influencing their experiences in clinical practice and having a positive approach in the enhancement, quality and safety of healthcare delivery.

I became a PPI member because I want to make sure that the voices of neurodiverse adults, the disabled and carers voices are heard in research. I am a research scientist but left the labs due to ill health. I wanted to use my own health experiences in a positive way to improve care for everyone.
