Training
Aims & Actions
The aim of Health CASCADE is to cascade co-creation skills and expertise by training a new community of professionals capable of working across disciplines, and public and private sectors. With the understanding and skills gained throughout the project, there is a need to spread this knowledge to the many actors that will, ultimately, engage with local stakeholders to co-create new interventions within their localities and regions. To ensure widespread implementation of the training generated by HC, a Cascade Training Model has been chosen, and is being developed by the training team. The resulting product will be a brand new and unique training curriculum for researchers on evidence-based co-creation delivered via cascade training. This will be referred to as the Health CASCADE training program. Dawn Skelton is leading this team.
