A thread for the ultra-wealthy.
If you are wealthy, you may think that if the U.K. switches from an NHS-model to a private model of healthcare it will either a) be better for you, or b) will not affect you.
Here is why you are wrong…
🧵
Surely the highlight of the year in the Child Health calendar 🌟
Don't miss out, get involved and show off your work!
Thanks again to the fabulous @ursulaankeny for her kind words about the conference 😊

Meaningful involvement of children, young people & their families is very important to us at NIHR CYP MedTech. So the Citizen Science for Health Conference (taking place in Twente later this year) looks very interesting! citizenscience4health.nl #Health #Research #CitizenScience

I ask Non Disableds to watch her Ted Talk almost on a daily basis these days.
Disability activist Stella Young gets a statue, in my polling her TED talk was the thing disabled people most wanted non-disabled people to watch: youtube.com/watch?v=8K9Gg164…

We had a great time taking part in the GOSH YPAG session on Saturday, thank you for making us feel so welcome! It was inspiring to meet so many insightful and engaged young people, we learned a lot and had a lot of fun too! #PPIE #Health @GreatOrmondStreet @GenrYPAGs @gem_wheeler
Thank you so much for reading our article! My colleagues & I are very passionate about this topic, and always keen to develop our thinking and approaches with others 🙂 @natwm10 @ursulaankeny @philippahowsley @ElphickHeather @Devices4Dignity @NIHRCypMedTech @Lab4Living
This outstanding article led by @gem_wheeler from @NIHRCypMedTech explains 3 approaches: #PPIE, co-design, & experienced based co-design.
Uniquely, the article provides 4 case studies to support researchers in selecting the most effective approach depending on their goals.

Fantastic meeting with @PeteCulmer and @HMADigital for a demo of the 'Let's Go!' smartwatch app! Designed with extensive input from families, the app will empower children and young people to monitor and manage continence issues - get in touch to find out more! @Devices4Dignity
I work with some lovely people & we wrote a thing: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… BUT this is just a snapshot of our thinking - any meaningful involvement is always evolving and our approaches aren't prescriptive. I'd love to hear your thoughts & experiences! #codesign #health #research
