Mental Health GoalsUK-wide Programme

Lived Experience Industry Partnership

Establishes patient experience as central to industry priorities.

Integrating lived experience as a key voice in mental health R&D Ensures patients are being heard

The LEIP creates a new alliance between patients and industry — joint priority setting, deliberative dialogues and communities of practice that align what patients want with what industry develops, and rebalance power between patients, research and industry.

Primary focus

  1. Fosters partnerships between patients with lived experience, researchers, and industry — so treatments actually reflect what matters most to people

Key questions & challenges

  1. How do we align what patients care about with what researchers study and what industry develops?
  2. Are there tools we can build or teams we can collaborate for this purpose?

How this differs from other infrastructure

  1. Specialist workstream for lived experience
