About
Us

ACHE was founded to foster the empowerment of everyone navigating health/care systems: to share the wealth of knowledges we have about health and care and to utilise those knowledges to benefit one another, to provide advice on how to navigate the health/care systems we have, and to work on developing better ones, with those using the services at the very centre.

We believe in the disability rights principle of "nothing about us without us" and want to design care for us, by us!

CURRENT PROJECT

Transforming Trans

Healthcare 

For far too many trans people (certainly here in the UK) accessing life-affirming healthcare remains a needlessly distressing, dehumanising, and lengthy process. 

So our current project is all about how we can change that: what can do right now to better empower patients under the existing models, and what we can do to design better models for delivering care that centres trans people as experts on their own experiences?

Funded thanks to a grant from TRANSforming Futures (funded by the National Lottery Communities Fund)

A digital painting where two brown hands reach towards each other, palm up, fingers gently outstretched, offering their hand to each other, or maybe reaching for each other. The background is dramatic with what looks a bit like a vague drawing of the outlines of a brain in the centre, drawn in white, and stretching out from that are lots of wavy white lines, some of which branch off into others. The background to this is orange, brightes/lightest in the centre and getting more fiery and dark orange out towards the edges, and theres lots of the waving and branching tendrils in orange as well. In the top section of the painting, these orange tendrils blend into a very dark tuqoise background, and there are an increasing number of spots of light speckled amongst the tendrils. In the bottom section, there's something that looks like a neuron, with a mostly circular shape except for all of the branches extending off it. The intensity feels powerful, tempered by the warmth of the hands.
