Why do we exist ?
Telling our own story has been a powerful experience and rich learning for the students.
Some students who were recruited before 2006 had given little thought to the service user/carer perspective.
Sessions facilitated by the service users/carers in year 1, were particularly powerful for them.
An experience that in feedback the students said they valued highly.
