“…Typically, therapeutic patient's education offered by health care professionals helps the patients to learn and to develop numerous competencies, to adapt behaviors leading to an improvement of different health parameters, including bio-markers and quality of life [66]. On the other way around, patients can also, and in fact, are more and more involved in medical and recovery-oriented training [6,67,68]. At the UR as a concept, patients and medical students can study and experiment attitudes like empathy, altruism, rigor or reflexivity together through mentorship and reciprocal, positive emulation (as per the above mentioned CanMEDS).…”

Recovery has undoubtedly gained traction throughout the world, and much effort is going into the transformation of mental health policies and systems to achieve recovery-oriented outcomes. There is also a growing argument that emphasizes the interconnectedness of mental and somatic health dimensions, with one dimension affecting the state of the other, and the recovery vision has thus also begun to influence chronic physical illness management. As mental and physical health integration may include colocation, by which the mental health specialist sees patients with various physical health conditions in the same primary care setting, it has been suggested that this colocation could also be conceptual and, in fact, favored by the sharing of a common and global recovery vision for a genuine holistic and person-centered approach. A rapid review of literature was performed to inform the development of a series of workshops to train psychiatry residents and medical students to recovery. Although a plethora of writings exists on ways to transform existing practices to make them more recovery-oriented, not much is known about training techniques meant to inculcate recovery values and principles within the initial training of doctors and other professionals. Through this review, we could not find any faculty of medicine-based class with official institutional credentials specifically and explicitly meant to train future professionals to recovery. The University of Recovery emerged as a new approach to training, not only on recovery, but more importantly for training in recovery. In effect, at the 'with-no-walls' University of Recovery, professors learn from students and conversely through a 'flipped classes' approach by which patients and (future) providers experiment with recovery together, for example, with inversed role plays and other small group techniques of co-learning, as discussed in this paper.

“…Service staff reported that they saw the overall benefit of implementing consumer participation and in particular valued having the voice of someone who actually uses, or has previously used the service, to better understand how the service was perceived. Consumer involvement in other health sectors, such as mental health, has contributed to a range of improvements, including the increase of service accessibility, and providing psychosocial benefits to consumers [10,15,16].…”

In Australia the successful implementation of consumer participation programs in mental health has demonstrated consumer participation to be achievable, particularly within other marginalized groups of people. The context of drug and alcohol services brings with it particular sensitivities and complexities, and these can present some challenges to implementing consumer participation. The aims of this study were to explore staff opinions current activities, attitudes and challenges in implementing consumer participation models in non government drug and alcohol services in NSW. A semi structured survey was developed, consisting of questions around service user participation, and was sent to non government alcohol and other drug services in New South Wales, Australia. The majority of services reported that they currently engage in some form of consumer participation, however many were unlikely to engage in activities that involved consumers and staff working cohesively together where consumers' perspectives are equal with those of staff . Despite this, most respondents believed their service could benefit from implementing consumer participation into planning and policy development. Over half the sample agreed that a main barrier to implementing consumer participation activities in their service was around staff concerns that they could not trust service users and that service users would have access to confidential information. Consumer participation has the potential to benefit those who plan and provide health care services, as well as patients who use the service. For staff and service users within the drug and alcohol sector to more successfully implement consumer participation, consumers and staff need to develop a stronger shared trust.

“…Organisational and logistical issues of recruitment and retention of participating families Although evidence suggests that patients who participate in medical education are positive about the experience, 11,12 recruitment can be diffi cult. In the Family Study, recruitment is dependent on the co-operation of third parties and can therefore be unpredictable.…”

The 'Family Study' was introduced at Cardiff Dental School in the 2001/2 session. Students are paired with local families who they visit over three years to collect information about family structure, childhood development and health behaviours, which forms the basis of a major project in year 4. In this paper, data gained from the fi rst cohort of students to complete the study are reviewed, together with a practical evaluation of the programme's delivery and teaching gains. INTRODUCTIONThe data show that students generally gain:

Patients as teachers: a qualitative study of patients' views on their role in a community-based undergraduate project

Abstract: The study has shown that patients see themselves clearly as having specific contributions to make to medical students' education and training. This has implications for the further development of community-based teaching.
