Good engagement webinars

This is the first of what we hope will be a regular webinar about sharing learning and good practice for involvement, co-production and engagement of local people in the health and care system throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria. In this, our first webinar we take a look at Blackpool and the innovative and successful approaches to engagement that have been adopted by Healthwatch Blackpool and Blackpool Council’s co-production team. Participants will have a chance to really get into the detail behind the engagement methods, and the difference they have made.

• Abigail Lee and Alex Lever from Healthwatch Blackpool will share their powerful insight gained after collecting feedback from 4,170 local children and young people, focusing on the topic of e-cigarettes and vaping in Blackpool. They have since co-produced and co-designed targeted  ommunication materials to discourage the uptake of vaping, in partnership with children, young people and Public Health Blackpool. Learn more about the co-creation of these materials and see the finished results.
• Blackpool Council will share its experiences of coproduction and lived experience focusing on the engagement of children and young people to support the Blackpool SEND Inspection.

The webinar will include a question-and-answer session and is open to anyone with an interest in public and patient engagement, involvement and co-production in Lancashire and South Cumbria. In particular this webinar will be of interest to those involved in children and young people’s services, SEND, population health and public health, the VCFSE and partnership working.
