Our recommendations for people with lived experience
The programme in Utrecht will be of interest to people with lived experience who look to transform their personal insights into actionable improvements. Your unique perspectives are invaluable in identifying systemic challenges and co-creating solutions that resonate with patients and providers alike.
Co-production with people with lived experience is something that we prioritise heavily at the International Forum. By participating, you can collaborate with global healthcare leaders, share innovative practices, and drive meaningful change in health systems worldwide.
Our programme recommendations include a mixture of workshop and lecture-based content.
Sessions in this section all focus on co-creating positive change across systems and populations.
