Policy
DoWell is strongly linked to improving policy in relation to co-design, health and wellbeing, particularly, linking to mental health, dementia and arts for health. Our recommendations and guides seek to offer help and guidance in these areas. Below, you will find links to relevant documents.
The Persona Toolkit helps designers to better understand people’s experiences and situations when designing. It has been accepted for the World Health Organisation (WHO) Global Dementia Observatory Knowledge Exchange Platform. Access it here.
The MinD Recommendations offer insights about design in relation to dementia care. They are of interest to policy providers, funders, designers, dementia (care) organisations, design regulators, and others.
The Mind Co-design Guidelines have been developed to promote the involvement of people with dementia in research and design development with empathy and respect and to promote agency.
