Judith has very kindly asked me to write a guest post for her blog about the use of survey and marketing research and how it can help improve healthcare.
Firstly as an act of full disclosure I should say I am a market researcher who works in healthcare research. So yes I do have an interest in persuading people to work with us to co-create better healthcare options.
Over the last few years people like you have had a greater say in the kinds of medical treatment you or the people you love receive. The types of treatment options have increased especially with the growth of non-prescription medication and alternative medicine.

Hi Folks, Greetings to all and a very special Thank You!!! to Judith for asking me to do some “guest- blogging”…both honored and quite excited to be doing this. FYI….I am a musician and an advocate in the areas of trauma, abuse and mental health concerns. There is a lot more to this, but I want to be brief and let you spend some time visiting some of the websites I will be sharing – these can then give you a lot more information and resources to help you understand better some of the many things I do in trying to share Hope, Healing & Help for the above mentioned heath concerns. |

The mental health charity Rethink has recently rebranded itself and taken the name Rethink Mental Illness. Note the full stop after Mental Illness. This apparently is very significant. Actually I am not at all interested in the rationale behind the use of a full stop as I don't see Mental Illness as a consumer product and really, if Rethink is one of the charities involved in the Time to Change anti stigma campaign http://www.time-to-change.org.ukthen I see adding Mental Illness to their name as a retrograde step. |

I was interested to see that the Department of Health and Comic Relief have given a further £20m to the Time To Change campaign http://www.time-to-change.org.ukWhile I am sure this campaign is effective and far reaching I can immediately think of better things to spend £20m on. Yes, it is vital to remove the stigma of mental illness and I don't want to take anything away from the TTC campaign, but with local waiting times for counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy standing at 8-12 weeks and up to 18 months respectively, it seems that we are short of many, many counsellors and therapists if we are to reach out to everyone affected by mental illness |
