Abstract
Introduction: Person centred care is vital to ensure we improve access to the right care, treatment and support for all people. Meaningful engagement with people with lived experience is essential in the design of this and can also have direct benefits for people as a consequence.
The ALLIANCE coordinates a number of networks for people with lived experience This includes a heart disease network that has been established to directly influence the Scottish Government’s Heart Disease Action Plan to ensure we can improve access to the right care, treatment, and support, and minimise preventable heart disease.
This interactive workshop we will share insights we have gathered and the learning to date as well as the methods we have embedded to ensure structures are in place to allow people to share their experience, and turn these experiences into meaningful action through our direct link into policy.
This session will be useful for all health and social care stakeholders as through this discussion we will explore the importance of ensuring lived experience is at the heart of planning and decision making
