Exploring the importance and relevance of public involvement in health and social care services.​

Aims of this session 

• To achieve a common, shared understanding of why it is important to participate and engage​
• To develop understanding of involvement opportunities and where participants interests may lie​

What we do​

This session asks participants to share their pre-existing ideas of what is meant by public involvement. ​

We discuss what this means in the context of health and social care services, along with the legislation and drivers behind it. ​

We then explore where there are opportunities for meaningful involvement, and what this could look like for you. ​

From this perspective we consider what makes public involvement a useful and worthwhile thing to do.
