Paul Hemsil
Lived Experience Advisory Board Member to Addiction Professionals,
Lived Experience Expert
Paul lost his relationship, his career and almost his life after becoming addicted to prescription drugs,
He was referred to four separate treatment services and was turned away by all four due to none of them being commissioned to address his particular problem.
Since 2014, he has studied and researched the Neurobiology of addiction, and dedicated his life trying to change policies to ensure help and support is made available to all who need it.
