49. Behind the scenes of our 'Whose Shoes' work with children and families

Wild Card - Whose Shoes?

Building on the theme of storytelling and creativity.
How do we get people to come along to our events?
What is Whose Shoes anyway?
Today I am talking to Lyse Edwards and Rachel Crook from the Children and Families team at Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust as we prepare for our forthcoming Whose Shoes events in May - looking to make care more holistic for children and families and to improve perinatal mental health.
We talk about some of the more creative methods we are using to draw people in and ensure this is TRUE coproduction.
