Humanizing health care through relationality:
Exploring the science and practice of community engagement
Tuesday 8 April 2pm-3:30pm CEST
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/lXMLhE6MRhiOlrnLKoe8Uw
This webinar series is based on a new policy report launched at the World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH) - https://wish.org.qa/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Relationality-in-Communit...
The report revisits foundational concepts of community and examines how a deeper understanding of the relational nature of community engagement can contribute to improving quality of health care and transforming health systems.
The webinar series hopes to inspire a shared understanding of community engagement's transformative potential and how it can be leveraged for people-led change.
From this first webinar, you will learn more about:
1. The importance of relationality in addressing current global health challenges and crises.
2. The conceptual framing of community engagement for quality (CEQ) and its scientific foundations and evidence base.
3. The "bioactive nature" of communication, emphasizing how relational interactions can positively or negatively affect health outcomes.
