Webinar: A Practical Introduction to Co-Design in Healthcare and Research
Co-design is more than a buzzword – it is a process that has the power to change people, health services and communities.
The RECOVER Injury Research Centre is pleased to host ‘A Practical Introduction to Co-Design in Healthcare and Research.’ Our guest presenters are health services researcher and consumer duo Adrienne Young and Anja Christoffersen, who together co-designed the Metro North “Better Healthcare Together” Co-design framework.
In this engaging session, Adrienne and Anja will provide an overview of co-design principles and frameworks and share insights from their co-design experiences. They will also provide practical tips on what to do (and not to do) when co-designing with consumers.
Who should attend
This practical webinar is for:
- health researchers who are new to co-design
- consumers (people with lived experience, and their carers, family or friends) who are interested in being involved in, or facilitating co-design in health research
- health professionals who are interested in being involved in, or facilitating co-design.
