Speaker Finder Service

This is a connection page for event organisers, publication editors, news media and others to connect with a diverse range of people who draw on long term heath and social care to live their lives.

The importance of equality, diversity, co producing and inclusion is finally getting some recognition and we know organisations are looking to build strong, diverse teams.

Imagine if a conference on gender inequality had no female speakers, it would be criticised and probably draw protests. Or an event about tackling racism, had only white experts, rightly it would lack all credibility. How many policies, events and decisions are made in health and social care without the people who draw upon it?

So let's hear from people who are disabled or live with long term health conditions and let's ensure we hear and learn from their direct knowledge, opinions and experience.

Here you will find a growing network of people with extensive experience based on drawing on health and social care who are willing to share their opinions, topical views, expertise and experiences at events, conferences, publications and with media.

If you need to speak to someone about finding the right person for your event, board, project please contact admin@in-control.org.uk and we can discuss options.

If you are a person with lived experience drawing on health and/or social care and interested in joining our database of speakers and contributors please contact admin@in-control.org.uk for further details
