Collaborative Care in Action: Equipping Healthcare Professionals to Partner with Caregivers 

Caregiver partnership and co-design are critical to improving patient outcomes, yet healthcare providers are often too overwhelmed or under-informed to fully integrate caregivers into the care team. This session will explore how healthcare professionals can effectively and safely recognize caregivers as essential partners in care. Panelists will share practical strategies and training models that empower providers to engage caregivers meaningfully, and co-create approaches that strengthen collaboration and drive better outcomes for people who access care.
