Read about the impact of genuine power sharing and lived experience led change.
On Wednesday 16 September, the ALLIANCE and the International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC) Scotland hosted the ninth event in our Integration in Action series, exploring the Five Ambitions for the Future of Health and Care, a shared vision for a future where people and wellbeing are at the centre.
This online event took a deeper look at the ambition to Share Power by exploring what it means to move beyond participation toward genuine power sharing in health and social care, and how systems can change to share power more equitably. By centring the experiences of people directly affected by decisions, the session encouraged participants to reflect on what genuine partnership looks like and how we can create health and care systems where lived experience shapes outcomes.
We were joined by Iona MacTaggart from Scottish Recovery Network, and Natalie Patterson and Jeannie Clough from SCLD’s Include for Good programme for a panel discussion. Iona, Natalie and Jeannie drew on their experiences working with lived experience led organisations, peer support networks, and change programmes to explore how we can create the conditions for genuine power sharing, the difference it makes, and what we want to see for the future.
