Diana Rose is a social scientist and has also been a user of mental health services all her adult life. After a very difficult time in a lecturing job, followed by five years as a 'community mental patient', she brought her two identities together to do user-led research. This was strongly influenced by her involvement in the UK user/survivor movement. The first project was undertaken in an NGO where she developed a way of evaluating services from the service user perspective.

She now co-directs SURE and has been appointed Senior Lecturer in User-Led Research.
