Welcome to Talking Long Term
supported by CETL4HealthNE

The People with Experience work stream aims to involve CETL4HealthNE partners and voluntary sector groups in developing an online multimedia database of narrative resources related to individuals’ experiences of health and social care which will be used to support the learning of health and social care students studying in the NE.

The need to place first hand accounts of peoples’ experiences of health and social care at the centre of practice development, research, education and training agendas is widely acknowledged. Narrative interviews attempt to create a space where people can tell their stories as they wish with a minimum of direction. New digital multi-media technologies now provide a powerful way to capture both audio and visual histories, and permits users to search through material relevant to their own interests easily and quickly.
