Scott Ballard-Ridley
Lived experience partner; England
Scott is the Co-production and Quality Manager for the CiC Bridges Self-Management. Scott has worked with Bridges since 2018 in several roles. He draws on his experience as a physiotherapist, his time in the NHS and voluntary sectors, and his perspective as a stroke survivor. He contributes to workshop development, implementation, research, and co-production and speaks at UK and international conferences on healthcare policy.
Scott values helping people recognise that, as a patient, he brings valuable insight to the clinician–patient relationship. When this is acknowledged and nurtured, real change happens, improving interactions and outcomes.
