Codesign – enabling engagement, including health projects and peace plus

We can shape better healthcare education, services and systems if we co-design.

Dr Jitka Vseteckova

This workshop brings Dr Jitka Vseteckova and Professor Christothea Herodotou from The Open University together with Dr Chase Staras from Nottingham Trent University to explore how co-design and participatory approaches can drive more equitable, effective, and trustworthy healthcare. Drawing on real-world projects, the session will highlight how researchers, practitioners, and communities can work together to shape healthcare education, services, and systems.

About this session

Dr Vseteckova will discuss the inclusive approach to the Take Five to Age Well, UK-wide public health campaign designed to empower wide and diverse ageing populations and communities, tackle health inequalities, increase health literacy, improve self-management.

Professor Herodotou will co-design approaches in mental health drawing from the PeacePlus+ funded Peace of Mind project and showcasing how collaborative, inclusive design approaches can support youth wellbeing across diverse setting within formal and informal education.
