Insight Series: Prof Dame Jane Francis

Thursday 17 July, 11am – 12pm, online (Zoom)

Join Prof Dame Jane Francis, Director of British Antarctic Survey and Chancellor of the University of Leeds, for a very special Insight Series session, where she will reflect on her interdisciplinary research career.

Jane’s presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

Co-production methodologies: How ideal is the ideal types approach?

Thursday 31 July, 12 – 1pm, online

Join Dr Jess Johansson as she explores the Ideal Type approach used in the ADAPT stroke study—a project focused on developing recommendations for how different ‘types’ of stroke survivors can be supported to reduce their sedentary behaviour.

Jess will share insights into the strengths and challenges of co-producing these ‘types’ with stroke survivors, carers, and NHS stroke service staff, highlighting the vital role of Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) in producing recommendations. She’ll also showcase creative ways the study has embraced collaboration, including original artwork created by a stroke survivor.
