An Introduction to Human-Centred Product Design and Development

Through a combination of online presentations and interactive group activities led by Triteq, the West of England AHSN Academy brings you two half day workshops (11 & 18 November) aimed at those who are interested in learning more about what it takes to develop a healthcare innovation product, and the importance of considering your end users throughout the process. Supported by a resource pack that will be sent in the post delegates will benefit from online discussions and close supervision from facilitators.

The course has limited availability and is open to people from the West of England region with a focus on developing innovations to benefit the healthcare system. Those wishing to attend should commit to attending both days, 11th and 18th November.

We request that only one person per project team registers for the event, this is to maximise the benefits of the course across the West of England region.
