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.

Trevor Key
UEA person with lived experience and associate tutor. I’m a carer for my son who has a dual diagnosis of autism and learning disability. He has used a variety of services throughout his life including day and residential special schools, respite care and secure support and now lives in his own flat in North Norfolk. I have over 40 years experience of work in social care in a range of positions from strategic senior management to direct care in several settings. These include statutory services, not for profit and charity status organisations and medium secure hospitals. In the course of these roles I have routinely partnership worked with social workers and partner agencies with whom I have also received a service and support whilst caring for my son. Currently I am semi-retired and until recently completed 5 years service as chair of the Norfolk Autism Partnership Board (NAPB) that also required me to sit on the Norfolk Safeguarding Adults Board. I remain an active member of the NAPB and am involved in coproduction initiatives. For the past four years I have had the privilege of a Person With Lived Experience (PWLE) role with the School of Social Work at the University of East Anglia. I am a qualified Signalong Tutor and part-time actor.
