Taking a fresh look at how we collaborate

To help inform the Q community’s new participation strategy, we want to hear your stories of active collaboration.

In our work with New Citizenship Project to inform Q’s new participation strategy we asked the question: How can we create conditions for greater depth and breadth of participation across our community? 

We asked members to get involved by sharing a story of a time you felt actively involved in collaborating with others to spark change.

We’re interested in what made those experiences possible and how you think the Q community might enable more people to collaborate to meet the challenges and opportunities facing health and care. 

Whether the story you shared is about collaborating through Q or elsewhere, you’re helping shape the Q community by identifying what we can build on and improve to better support people to collaborate in future. 

Together with New Citizenship Project, and other members of the community, we’ve explored further how we can create the conditions for greater depth and breadth of participation. 

Ultimately, your input helped create the building blocks for a new participation strategy. 

If you have any questions about the project, please contact the Q and New Citizenship Project team
