Learning lunches

We’ll be holding the learning lunches on LinkedIn Live, which makes it easy to continue conversations after the session, and for us to answer questions. You’ll need a (free) LinkedIn account to register. We’ll also stream live to YouTube, which you can view without a YouTube account.

If you have a topic you’d like us to cover, are interested in being a guest speaker, or would like to discuss an interactive session on any of the topics on this page for your team, email [email protected]

Involving young people in vaccine decisions: reflections on our recent work

How do we design vaccination services that help young people feel safe and supported, and that they value and want to take part in?

Earlier this year, Co-create worked with Black Country ICB to explore the vaccination experience of over 250 young people, and to co-design improvements to enhance future services and increase uptake.

In this Learning Lunch, we heard from Co-create Associates Stuart Dodzo and Rosie Ayub, who led this work, on:

• What they learned about engaging young people around vaccines
• The challenges they faced and how they addressed them
• What they would do differently next time — and why

Alongside their reflections, this interview provides practical ideas  you can adapt for your own projects involving young people — or other communities — around vaccines and other areas of public health.

Showing we care: improving involvement through practising empathy.

We come to our involvement work from a position from empathy. But in large and sometimes impersonal systems, does our empathy come across to the people we want to engage? This session explored:

* The benefits of practising empathy in our work, and the consequences when it doesn’t come across
* Finding empathy with those we don’t share experience with
* Showing our care through our involvement structures and methods

Patient leaders and the ‘usual suspects’: who do we need to hear from most?

Patient involvement is a precious and limited resource, so who we involve matters. How can you target your involvement efforts to where they will do the most good?

This session explored:

* Frameworks for deciding who you need to hear from the most in any involvement work
* Making difficult decisions about inclusion and exclusion
* Methods for reaching people you haven’t reached before

Paying participants for involvement – what difference can it make?

This session explored paying participants for involvement. Some people insist all participants should be paid, others that it’s unnecessary or undesirable. It’s a complicated and sometimes emotional area to pick through. We’ll explore:

* Whether we need to pay people
* Different models for financial payment
* Alternatives and additions to financial reward

Integrating lived experience: three approaches your organisation can take

Previous sessions looked at ways to improve your work using lived experience from outside your organisation. This session explored developing the value of lived experience within your organisation. This is a resource that is often underused – setting it free can improve your outcomes as well as your working lives. We looked at:

* Creating a culture in which lived experience can thrive
* A 360° approach to integrating lived experience through diverse roles
* Practical tips on recruiting for lived experience.
