Data Conversations is a public engagement project exploring what health data means to people, through dialogue across generations.

It was co-designed by SCONe researchers together with the SCONe Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Group, comprising six members aged 50+ with lived experience of eye disease and one 17-year-old participant.

The term ‘data’ covers a wide range of information, which can make it challenging for the public to engage in discussions about data research. The project team worked with members of the public to break down complex ideas into tangible examples. They explored the implications of using – or not using – health data in research about disease prevention, care and early detection.

Data Conversations was funded by Research Data Scotland.

How can we encourage people in Scotland to take better care of their eyes?

Join us for a collaborative online workshop on 10 December (13:00–15:00) where we’ll refine practical eye-health messages co-developed with patients and the public. Everyone is welcome public, patients, charities, healthcare professionals; if you are interested, follow the link for more information.

We’re bringing together optometrists, ophthalmologists, health professionals, researchers, and public representatives to help make these messages clear, inclusive, and engaging.
