Rita Horgan

Independent Lived Experience Researcher

Biography

I am the lived experience co-lead of the NIHR Soteria research project.
I work for several organisations using my lived experience of having a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. These include national Mind and Health Education England.
My passion is to see accessible, compassionate non coercive coproduced services freely available for people who experience what is often referred to as bipolar and psychosis.
I’m delighted to be part of this conference to share ideas and experiences to support and inspire each other in this important work.
