Absolutely fascinating talk from Dundee's Graham Pullin on his work on design and disability at Studio Ordinary. He describes brings together disabled and non-disabled researchers across critical disability studies and design to explore disability technologies.

Graham's talk illustrates, using excerpts of conversations from members of Studio Ordinary, experiences of being involved (or not!) in designing assistive technologies.

So I can see some people I follow have clearly used a #hashtag I'm interested in (in this case #THISSpace2022). But a search for that hashtag is showing no results. Any advice on why that might be? #feditips

presentation about co-production that it is truly led by people expert by experience. We live with the pain, mental and physical health impacts of our conditions 365 days a year; involve us! #THISspace2022 #Disabilities #HealthExperiences #CoProduction #HealthResearch
Following harmful healthcare incidents (we are talking deaths here!), the need to be sensitive to timing was something that came across very strongly. For some people, investigations moved too quickly and didn't allow for grieving or coming to terms with what happened. For others, delays prevented people from moving on and contributed to compounded harm. The need to respond meaningfully within the current system is being debated.

The always excellent #THISspace2022 has begun with a great session on harmful incidents in healthcare. There is currently discussion about what that means for different parties, and how to respond better within restorative frameworks.
