Powering Up seeks to bridge the gap between health services and young people by placing them and clinicians at the forefront of reimagining healthcare. We aim to empower young people and clinicians in London and Birmingham to co-produce solutions to health inequality through creative co-design, leveraging each other's strengths.
We are testing two innovative methods in a pilot across Birmingham and London to explore a radical new approach to care. By focusing on what matters most to patients and clinicians, we aim to deliver better, more sustainable care. Using science methods in Birmingham and arts methods in London, we stimulate creative thinking to address issues that have excluded people from services, especially those from minority communities.
Our strength lies in our agility and commitment to learning, driven by curiosity, respect, and love. Powering Up is a diverse, interprofessional team co-led by young people, including our Project Coordinator. With input from a youth advisory team, young people's voices guide our decisions and shape the project's success.
