Powering Up

Radically Reimagining Health

Young people (YP) between 15-25 years face the greatest health inequalities. Health inequalities are a sign of a system that has failed to connect with people. Powering Up is a new approach to health that seeks to reach out to YP from under-represented or neglected communities in different and creative ways.

We are changing the way that health services can have meaningful conversations with thecommunities they serve, by putting ordinary clinicians and patients at the front and centreof that process

Co-led by YP from day one, Powering Up tested two complementary, community-based,participatory methods to explore the art and science of meaningful co-production inhealth. Using citizen science in Birmingham and the arts in London, Powering Up hasengaged a generation of school students and local clinicians on a transformational journeyto radically reimagine health together.

You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future.
