My fourth year and every year it gets better. Some
new SUs with us and they were as blown away as I
was the first time. I'm gonna use a Leeds United
saying... Marching On Together. Peace & Love.
Jeanette Siret (Inspire)
Still buzzing after the fantastic day yesterday. This
was my second and you can be sure I won’t be
missing any more. Big, big hugs and thanks DDN
and everyone involved.
Francis Cook (NUN)
I have to say that this was the most users-involving
and users-involved DDN conference yet; it wasn’t
until I saw all the photos that it struck me.
‘There’s been no substitute for the power that
comes with people like me being able to say,
“Well, service users would challenge you on that”.
People in commissioning and in provider land will
claim things that won’t stand up to scrutiny, and
you have a vital role in challenging that.’
Rosanna O’Connor
‘If you’ve got toothache you go to the dentist. If
you want to recover you go to someone who’s
in recovery.’
Delegate
‘GPs are just like the rest of society. We can
either be helpers or fascist pigs.’
Dr Chris Ford
‘When I was on methadone I had no encourage-
ment whatsoever to come off it. I had to do that
myself.’
Delegate
‘We need to work together to stop people
demonising life-saving medications, when it’s
really about ineffective treatment.’
Daren Garratt
‘I was in active addiction for 24 years and the
one thing I never saw where I lived was a
recovery community. Things have changed.’
Delegate
