Working in clinical settings involves an empathetic mindset, but when there’s a need for improving how healthcare systems work, having empathy is just the start. Activating change in healthcare demands targeted yet lateral idea generation, and in design for health and wellbeing, idea generation starts with insight into complex systems, settings, and values. In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to work with collaborative, human centred design tools that help to identify specific aspects of a healthcare journey, come up with scaleable ideas to improve healthcare systems, and then synthesise and analyse these—inspiring actionable change.
