Lambeth Lunch and Peer Research
Reports, presentations and reflections from the Lambeth listening events, where researchers, peer researchers and parents came together to share maternity experiences over lunch. These resources are published on the NIHR ARC South London website.
Zenab Barry, strategic adviser to ARC South London's maternity and perinatal mental health theme, reflects on the Lambeth listening event: why it matters to talk to service users in familiar, relaxed settings, the activities used on the day, and what the team learned from the thirteen women who took part.
