17 July:  #D4H2015 came to a close after running from the 13th-16th July. The event encompassed a conference, exhibition and 24 hour design4health challenge, Lego Serious Play, Open Space, a Yarn Lounge, Giant Operation and live illustration. With headline sponsor Yorkshire and Humber AHSN we created an environment focused on creative practices that enable healthcare innovation, that challenge people to think differently and that facilitate real participation between public, patients, health professionals, researchers and businesses.
