The co-design of a health and wellbeing profile for older adults in the Dublin South and Wicklow integrated Health Area (IHA) outlining demographic, health status, health behaviours, service use, and wider determinants of health, is helping support integrated and equitable planning for these older populations. The National Health Service Improvement Team, National Clinical Programme for Older People, National Health Intelligence Unit, Regional Departments of Public Health, NCAD and UCD, presented their project ‘Co-designing a health and wellbeing profile for older adults within the Irish health system’ using our poster template. A structured, programme-based approach guided by the Health Services Change Guide was used to support delivery of this project.
