In this session, we will present work done in the UK and Sweden on patient leadership. The presenters will talk about how active and engaged patients are transforming health, healthcare and research, and what we all need to do to support this paradigm shift.<\/p> Sara Riggare<\/a>, Uppsala University; Sweden<\/p> Karin Alth\u00e9n<\/a>, Independent peer patient improver; Sweden<\/p> David Gilbert<\/a>, InHealth Associates; England<\/p> (Part B) Power: dynamic or dynamite in co-production<\/strong><\/p> The relationship between caregivers and users is asymmetric. Power imbalances as well as caregivers\u2019 attitudes and fear of losing power can hinder co-production and allow the asymmetric power relationship to persist.The underlying power imbalance needs to be addressed and challenged to create an equal and reciprocal relationship between professionals and users. Power is seen as the possibility to influence.<\/p> This session focuses on psychological safety and power dynamics in co-produced improvement work. We will interactively introduce the use of the power triangle reflection model. The model, based on Franz\u00e9n\u2019s power triangle, is further developed from ESTHER improvement coaches\u2019 perceptions in Sweden.<\/p> Nicoline Vackerberg<\/a>, Region J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping; Sweden<\/p>
