Sharing Power

COVID has showed us that a health system with adequate resources for all cannot be taken for granted. The economic consequences of COVID mean that the State and Federal health systems will be forced to get by on less.  Now more than ever, decision-makers need to have the skills, willingness and courage to work shoulder-to-shoulder with consumers to make some difficult decisions By sharing decision-making power, we can together build a health system that is fair, equitable and meets the needs of the people who use the system and those who serve it.  

Impactful consumer partnerships are based on a shared vision, trust, and empowering consumers to shape health services.  Ultimately, they are about sharing power.  A range of barriers stop true partnerships and prevent co-design from being all it could be. What does it take to truly share decision-making power?
