www.patientstories.org.uk - andersonwallace

www.patientstories.org.uk is a social enterprise which uses digital, broadcast and social media approaches to provoke debate about quality issues in healthcare.

It is run on a “non-profit” social enterprise basis, meaning that any surplus – after our costs – is re-invested to develop our work.

Murray Anderson-Wallace (via Anderson Wallace Ltd) provided the start-up funds to establish the website, make the first series of films and develop the learning resources. Anderson Wallace Ltd continues to provide financial support by covering some of the overheads and underwriting development costs.

Revenues from www.patientstories.org.uk are slowly growing as licensing agreements with NHS Trusts, Academic Institutions, learning and development networks and training and development companies develop.

Murray Anderson-Wallace has a clinical background in mental health services and psychological therapy, but has spent most of his career specialising in the social psychology of organisation and applied communications research.

His consulting practice is focussed on supporting organisations, networks and campaigns to tackle significant professional, ethical and social issues in more sensitive, humane and effective ways. Increasingly, he also supports people during serious incident investigations and represents families as an advocate in coronial proceedings.

Murray is Visiting Professor at the Health Systems Innovation Lab at London South Bank University, where he co-leads the Darzi Clinical Leadership Programme, the MA in Social Change.

His practice also includes work as an independent journalist and editor, producing media to stimulate debate about socio-cultural issues in complex human systems.

Murray completed his training as a Tier 1 Judge with the Judicial College, HMCTS in early 2021 and has been appointed to sit in the Family Courts adjudicating on private and private law matters.
