Thinkpublic and deborah szebeko

I've been having a read of Co-designing for society’ by Deborah Szebeko and Lauren Tan
Australasian Medical Journal (AMJ),( September 2010) This is a journal paper (AMJ- which I've written for also on design and health care)  that discusses the approach that think public take to co-design and the processes that they go through- It uses a case study of the Alzheimer100 project. The quote that resonated with me was "making patients the starting point of everything we do,not just as beneficiaries of care but as participants in its design"from Health Secretary Andrew Lansley when talking about NHS priorities over the net five years ( paper was in 2010- so in early 2012 I'd be interested to see how much traction co design in the NHS has got)

from the thinkpublic web site; This paper discusses the approach, tools, processes and practices of co-design. It illustrates how co-design works through several thinkpublic projects. The paper also outlines the benefits co-design brings and what co-design means for the future of society in the UK and around the world.
