Policy Labs: bringing evidence closer to public policy-making

The King’s Health Partners Digital Health Hub is running a free workshop on the innovative ‘Policy Labs’ method, which involves convening diverse policy and practice stakeholders such as health workers, patients, and policymakers, to discuss a policy challenge, assess the evidence, and co-produce viable policy options.

Join on Tuesday 10th June 10-11.30am at the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering to learn more. Click here to book.

The process of translating health research into policy and practice benefits is often too slow, taking an average of 17 years globally. Additionally, health policy changes fail when they have an inadequate understanding of the communities and challenges they seek to address. The Policy Institute at King’s College London developed the ‘Policy Labs’ method in response – this workshop on June 10th will explore how to collaboratively and effectively deliver Policy Labs in order to increase impact from health research. This workshop will be led by Dr Harriet Boulding and Tianne Haggar.

The workshop is open to anyone using or (or interested in using) a co-design process and methods to develop a digital health technology. You can be at any stage of a project.
