NICON Conference - October 16th 2024


Emma contributed to a panel discussion at the annual Northern Ireland Confederation for Health and Social Care (NICON) on October.

Titled 'The Power of Participation – Embracing the Public as Assets' and organised by Patient and Client Council (PCC) the panel featured Rebekah McCabe, Head of Northern Ireland, Involve, Gavin Quinn, Head of Regional Mental Health Services, Department of Health NI, and PCC engagement platform participant Ross, expertly moderated by PCC Chief Executive Meadhbha Monaghan.

Emma shared her experience in participatory structures, outlining that when you give people at opportunity to engage the results are powerful, and yet there are barriers; A lack of political will, low levels of trust in political institutions, and an absence of meaningful structures limits the potential of participatory democracy in Northern Ireland.
