2020 Webinar series
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bridges team got together to brainstorm ways we could support our network of colleagues and friends across the country. At a time when self-management had become necessary almost overnight, it felt like we had an opportunity to share our expertise, whilst creating a safe space for people to share and discuss their experiences.
Our topics are determined by our viewers and what they feel they need from us. Our guests are made up of our own team or Bridges 'friends'.
On this page, you can find recordings of all past webinars. We hope that you find the series useful and continue to come back and get involved!

#6 - Co-production: Harnessing the power of patients in design
It’s time to stop seeing co-production and co-design as things that are ‘nice to have’ and to recognise that they are essential to designing and providing healthcare services that are truly shaped around the needs of individuals. Especially during the pandemic. Let’s stop doing what we THINK will benefit patients and do what we KNOW will benefit patients by using co-production and co-design. Special guest speakers: Glenn Robert - Professor at King’s College London and founder of Experience Based Co-design Scott Ballard-Ridley & Clare Dawson - Lived Experience Associates and ‘patients’ with experience of being involved in co-design and co-production
