DFI Podcast Episode Twelve: Voices Together, Changing Services Through Lived Experience
May 7 2025

This is the first in a series of episodes we're doing following how people with lived experience of disability are helping to shape the future of adult day services through the Voices Together subgroup, a key part of the HSE’s New Directions monitoring system.
In this episode you’ll hear from:
- Robin Wynne, a lived experience advocate
- Martina Lanigan, HSE National Disability Team for Access and Integration
- Bernadette Frain, Leader of Count Me In for Western Care Association.
We discuss the ways co-production is changing how services are evaluated, delivered, and improved, not just for people with disabilities, but with them.
The conversation hopes to shine a light on what happens when the people who use services are at the centre of designing them.
