Co-designing Future Transitions in Palliative Care
The ‘Future Transitions in Palliative Care’ programme funded by the Scottish Universities Insight Institute are holding a co-design workshop on 4th September at the Lighthouse in Glasgow. The workshop aims to bring together people involved in palliative care (people with lived experience, practitioners, volunteers, families, carers, researchers, policy makers, students, and others) to work together to develop ideas for how transitions in palliative care can happen in the future. In this context, we refer to the way in which transitions can be ‘multiple and multidimensional’ relating to transitions in health, across services, personal identity, education, occupation etc. and can impact the person and their family.
The workshop will include presentations from clinicians and researchers who have been employing innovative approaches to develop palliative care practice. Participants in the workshop will hear about all activities to date across this programme of work including mapping of current landscape of palliative care in Scotland and stories of transitions from people with lived experience. Participants will be supported by design researchers from the Glasgow School of Art to collaboratively explore and co-design ideas around the following themes:
The role of volunteers and community
Young people’s and carer’s identity
Rituals, conversations and language
Building voices and aspirations
Quality of life and care
Transitions at diagnosis
Building and supporting legacy

We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting and innovative workshop.
