Developing inclusive practices for healthcare interventions
Co-design is increasingly used in health research, but its design practices are often assumed rather than examined, and under-described. It can be hard to see how collaboration and collective sense-making actually happen and how they shape healthcare interventions.
Situating Co-design focuses on healthcare service development with communities from the global majority where co-design processes raise particular questions about culture and power.
We look closely at how co-design materials and methods are negotiated in specific situations, understanding them not simply as facilitation tools, but as things that invent and actively shape how people come together.
Our aim is therefore analytical and practical: to understand how inclusive co-design happens, and to develop co-design practices that work better for the communities they are meant to serve.
