Sarah Rae has accessed mental health services on many occasions throughout her adult life. After a negative experience of acute care in 2005 she became determined to influence the design and delivery of services in her local mental health Trust.
During the last four years she has also brought together an experienced team of academics and clinicians to develop a major new research study: ‘Coproducing improved mental health acute inpatient discharge using a Systems Approach: MINDS’ https://www.nsft.nhs.uk/minds-study
