Instructional Insights: Learnings from a Case Study of Collaborating with an Individual with Lived Experience in Occupational Therapy Education.

This case study shares the knowledge gained from working with an individual having lived experience of a health condition contributing toward an occupational therapy education module through the reflections of an occupational therapy academic and an individual with lived experience working in a university. The primary goal is to establish an empirical evidence base for involvement of people with lived experience in occupational therapy education and to encourage other educators and individuals with lived experience to follow this model of teaching and learning in their curricula. Based on the belief that teaching and learning through co-production creates a 'triangle' of benefit for individuals with lived experience, students and academics.

The public health role of caseloading midwives in advancing health equity in childbearing women and babies living in socially deprived areas in England: The Mi-CARE Study protocol.

This article outlines the protocol for a qualitative Constructivist Grounded Theory study, examining the public health role of caseloading midwives working in a continuity model of care in areas of urban social deprivation. The study is currently being conducted in a city in the south of England during the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing specifically on the Social Determinants of Health impacting women and babies in this context and from the perspectives of women themselves, the study is developing a theoretical framework examining the actions caseloading midwives take in response to these determinants and how these actions contribute to advancing equity and equality for women and babies at increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes.
