LivedHealth CIC

A free, patient-led online video resource shining light on long-term health conditions. We guide fellow patients through diagnosis, treatment and lifestyle.

Who Are We?

LivedHealth are a not-for-profit community interest company (CIC). We create videos with a diverse group of individuals who share their experiences of living with long-term health conditions.

By providing a free, global, online resource, we ensure that patients living in areas with inadequate condition-specific information receive the expert advice they need. 

What Do We Do?

Our peer-delivered YouTube programme brings patients together with leading professionals to tackle topics that are often shied away from in health science communications.

We aim to improve health literacy, tackle health inequalities, reduce loneliness and build cohesion between patients and professionals, all whilst reducing strain on healthcare services. 

What People Are Saying

  • “Lived Health is exactly the kind of resource I wish had been available when I was first diagnosed with MS. Working with the production team has been truly collaborative. I have consistently felt heard, understood and supported. The team is clearly committed to getting it right."

    - Ardra Shephard

  • “LivedHealth CIC's patient-led model, which centres the patient voice at the heart of the work, would be an asset to the Parkinson’s patient community. I feel this is an exciting approach to patient and public engagement, and comes at a time when understanding patient priorities has never been more essential.”

    - Professor Tom Foltynie

  • "I’m really excited by the idea of LivedHealth and can vouch for its appeal. When I consulted the Parkinson’s community they were very bought into the idea of sharing and consuming peer and expert created content."

    - Emma Lawton

  • “I felt I was staring down the barrel of SPMS (secondary progressive MS). Learning that what it really comes down to is my neurological reserve has helped take some pressure off.”

    — MS Guided Bits

  • “Brilliant video. Great to hear your thoughts on terminology ‘beating MS’ - I 100% agree. I am just trying live the best life I can”

    — D. Fitzpatrick

  • “I had a UTI (urinary tract infection) that flared my symptoms so much I thought I was having a relapse. I’ve since had a course of antibiotics and feel a lot better. Please keep these videos coming; they are very helpful and reassuring.”

    — Bridget Mermikides

  • “Social prescribing is important, in my opinion. We really have to advocate for ourselves. Thank you for informing the community!”
