May 7 2025

Untitled (940 x 470 px) (3)

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.
