KEYNOTE SPEAKERFranck Louesdon Introduction to a co-design journey
The objective of the talk is to introduce concepts of co-design and co-creation. How to define it and what are the particularities compared to other existing approaches. Then, we will discuss the key steps of a co-design process and its visible or collateral impacts. Finally, we will analyze how to start this type of process and the link with existing approaches in the world of health. Examples from various environments will be taken to inspire the audience.

At all these levels, co-designing with people with lived experience makes all the difference between patient centricity and true patient partnership. This talk will describe some concrete examples of successful co-designing initiatives between patients, health care professionals and researchers. The psychosocial impact on patient partners of codesign solutions in oncology will also be addressed. Robin Urquhart Improving cancer care through co-design: an opportunity not to be wasted!

Examples of co-design projects in psychosocial oncology will be provided to highlight key considerations, benefits, outcomes of bringing together different stakeholders to improve care and supports for people diagnosed with cancer.
