    Abstract The Homecare Service was developed as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, providing all the elements of a mental health inpatient programme remotely, in the comfort and safety of the service user's home thus reducing the need for a physical admission. The aim of this study was to explore service user experiences of a remote virtual inpatient care at an Irish independent mental health service. All participants who had a virtual admission in a 3-month period were invited to complete a series of questions via an online survey. Three open-ended questions generated qualitative data from this mixed methods study, which were thematically analysed. Three themes reflected service user experience: 'The Homecare Service: a viable alternative to inpatient care'; 'Importance of relationships' and 'Technology and Homecare.' Overall, there was general satisfaction with the service. This study provided a good opportunity to identify issues that have emerged considering the prompt implementation of the initiative. Feedback relating to improvements can be implemented in future service delivery.

    Abstract Accessible summary: What is known on the subject? Lived experience narratives of recovery can provide an insight and subtlety where academic papers can often fall short. There is a need for people who work in mental health services to address and take care of their own psychosocial needs. What the paper adds to existing knowledge? This paper provides a unique insight into a care professional's recovery from mental ill health. Looked at through this dual lens of service user and care professional provide the reader with a rich narrative from the perspective of both sides of the caring role. What are the implications for practice? People who work in caring roles need to be vigilant of their own needs and the impact that the work can have on them. Safety protocol for managing one's own mental health should be a requirement for people within the caring profession.
    Abstract: Introduction This is an account of my experiences becoming unwell and accessing general and mental health services in Ireland. Aim It is hoped that this lived narrative of my recovery will shed light on accessing mental health services from a dual lens; that of service user and social worker. Method It traces this experience from initial contact with my general practitioner, to admission to a secure psychiatric ward where recovery slowly began. Results It is also hoped that reading my experiences of recovery and some of the insights shared will help those in the nursing or social care profession consider how they may be affected by their work. Discussion It is important to note that this account views my experiences within a neurobiology framework and this might not align to other people's experiences. However, my narrative of help-seeking is complex and includes multiple points where I uncover insights and encounter different healthcare professionals.
