Marie Winald Karlström is a mother to Jesper. Jesper, today 26 years, has Down syndrome with severe heartproblems. Marie, his mother, has been very committed to promote co-production with health professionals and is very clear about that this is neccesary to secure high quality of care. She is also keen to be a part and be involved in quality improvements projects. Listen to her experiences, thoughts and the challenges to overcome regarding patients and staff working together as partners. A question she points out. Why are we afraid of involving patients in improvements projects? What is really the problem? How can we start learning together if the patient is not invited?

Göran Henriks and Nicoline Vackerberg

Robert Stewart, Clinical Design Director at the Design and Learning Center for Clinical and Social Innovation in Kent, England, is passionate about co-production and learning from the person’s/patient’s perspective. Among other things, he points out the importance of keeping this perspective in the digital evolution of health care and asks ”How do we ensure learning, so that the person, not only the professional, becomes digitally enabled?”. The key to digital inclusion is learning together. This is certainly a live issue this spring, when many organizations and individuals have taken great leaps in the digital evolution, stressed by the need of keeping social distance.
