Understanding the experiences of people as they journey through outpatients’ services is crucial for the health sector in enabling improvements.
Increasingly we recognise the limitations of more traditional research methods in exploring and understanding the lived experience of patients. Arts-based research is gaining traction as a valuable approach in this arena. This recognition is surfacing the concept of agency within the complex context of health care improvement. We gain insight through the process of making, positioned within emotion, sensing, perception and reason.
We will triangulate our insight optimising a mixed methods approach to contribute unseen and unheard insight to those charged with improving outpatient’s services.
