Empowering Stroke Survivors: Co-Designing Safe, Personalised Physical Activity Interventions for Lasting Impact

This session explores the development and implementation of MOTIVATE, a groundbreaking, co-designed intervention to enhance physical activity among stroke survivors with physical disabilities. Leveraging behaviour change theory and input from those with lived experience, MOTIVATE addresses key barriers to activity, such as environmental limitations, lack of tailored guidance, and low confidence. Delegates will learn how physiotherapists trained in Healthy Conversation Skills (HCS) empower participants through personalised programs, adaptive equipment, and accessible resources. By attending, you will gain practical insights into co-design methodologies, strategies to incorporate behaviour change techniques, and the importance of patient (person)-centred approaches in improving health outcomes. Whether you are interested in designing interventions, engaging stakeholders, or advancing health equity, this session offers actionable knowledge and real-world results. Join us to explore how collaborative innovation is transforming post-stroke care and promoting safety, quality, and sustainability in healthcare delivery
