Workshop 4 (5 May 9 am-12 pm )
Feel, Share, and Understand Experience: How to Co-design with Patients and Staff
Desciption
This workshop equips participants with both theoretical frameworks and practical methods for using co-design to engage patients, staff, and other stakeholders in developing and delivering person-centred healthcare.
We introduce a service-logic perspective that places not only patients’ needs but also their capabilities and resources at the centre of value creation for health and wellbeing. You will learn approachable co-design tools for development work, but also how to build engagement and shared understanding around co-design—for example creating an inclusive, equitable environment that enables co-design, framing problems with stakeholders and prototyping and testing ideas. We will also cultivate curiosity and empathy, exploring how lived experience can inform improvement and innovation. The session blends theoretical perspectives with hands-on activities to help you translate concepts into practice in your own context.
Above all, expect a creative and exploratory workshop where we learn with and from one another—and have some fun along the way. Welcome!
Target group
Professionals, patient partners, leaders, and researchers working in healthcare or adjacent fields where co-design is applicable.
