Public Engagement and Involvement Forum
The Forum is a network for researchers, the public and people working in health and social care research in Wales to discuss issues and drive improvement in public engagement and involvement.
The next meeting will offer an opportunity to learn how to plan your public involvement activities to maximise engagement using the best method and tools. With a focus on hybrid working and how to do to it well.
You will meet our guest speaker and facilitator Dr Orla Cronin, a research psychologist, facilitator, trainer and consultant to NGOs and other civil society organisations. With over twenty years of facilitating, she has developed a broad toolkit of live, virtual and hybrid facilitation methods. She has a deep commitment to participatory approaches e.g., Technology of Participation, World Café, Agile, Solution Focus, Open Space and Appreciative Inquiry.
