Alisdair has variously been an academic historian, a lawyer and a user of mental health services, in between stretches of generalised faffing about. His day job is as team leader at Launchpad,the mental health service user involvement project for Newcastle upon Tyne, and he is also co-chair (with Mish Loraine) of the Northumberland, Tyne and Wear Service User & Carer network. He is a director of NAGAS (Newcastle and Gateshead Arts Studio),vice-chair of MHNE ,and a board member of UKAN (United Kingdom Advocacy Network) and of NSUN (National Survivor and User Network). In spare moments he shuffles all of the letters from the aforementioned acronyms and sees what they can spell out.
