Updates from our Testbeds:
Members of Bield’s TAPPI Programme Board, accompanied by their TAPPI tenant champions, participated in the 2023 TIS National Excellence Awards evening at the Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow yesterday. We are thrilled to announce that not only were they shortlisted in the 'Excellence in Digital Engagement' category for their submission, but they also emerged as the winners in this category (opens new window)! Their achievements highlighted how they have promoted inclusion through the practice of co-production.
On Wednesday 08/11, Resident Co-Production TAPPI Champion Debra Edwards presented ‘My Care, My Way’ at the TSA Conference in the Oval London – The Future Of Technology In Health and Social Care: Creating Partnerships and Changing lives. This was a fantastic presentation based on lived experiences about the great importance of having effective co-production within Housing, Health and Social Care.
