    @hawystomos I’ve been finding out how human centered design has been implemented working together as citizens in co-determination (deciding what to do) and co-production (equal power in the decision making process) to achieve services, policies and resourcing more closely configured around peoples needs. In Norway they have a written constitution which provides a policy framework and a values impetus to doing this and they pass laws mandating that things should be done this way. I’m back in UK on Thursday this week and will be making another trip to Norway next month to find out some more.

    • Interesting – it sounds as though the value of human centred design is understood, acknowledged and encouraged in Norway. I think it is valued in the UK, although it may not be widely known about at the moment. It would be brilliant if one day we had resident human-centred designers in hospitals in the UK!
