Workshop | Take the next step on deepening lived experience expertise in social care research

Social care research aspires to address inequities, however achieving this requires researchers to improve and deepen their partnerships with individuals and communities impacted by social needs and interventions, as those most affected by these issues are the experts of their lived experiences and should play an active role in designing solutions. There is a larger movement with increasing energy to engage individuals with lived experience across all stages and activities of the research continuum. This workshop brought together individuals with a shared interest in deepening lived experience expertise in social care research to make connections with each other and share learnings, with the overall goal of equipping participants to feel supported in deepening their engagement of individuals and communities with lived experience no matter where on the continuum they currently are.
