Thank you for your thoughtful responses, you both raised some really important points and helped me reflect on the implications of the terms. I appreciate the difficulties re. the term 'expert', and like you say Lorien it can at times exaggerate or maintain power imbalances. Due to the design of the project (and the inclusion of people who are not technically patients or service users) I have decided to opt for the term 'expert by experience' but will make sure to check with each participant how they choose to identify (e.g. patient. service users etc.).
Thanks again for your contributions.
