There are always variabilities in health outcomes within communities living in a particular place. This is due to factors presented by lived experience and a person’s urban footprint. While the scientific community tests and validates our understanding of variables that lead to health outcomes, we can never truly account for all the variables a citizen might encounter. Often we treat lived experience as unreliable in the face of medical insight. This roundtable discussion is designed to break this down and openly discuss new frameworks to understanding and respecting the role of the lived experience.

This roundtable will be discussing and covering the following

• Defining urban footprint and lived experience

• Examples of different health outcomes within communities

• Examples of how the lived experience and urban footprint impacts health.

FORMAT

A presentation from 2 members of the Centric Lab team will set the scene for an inclusive discussion thereafter. Items covered in the presentation include:

• Knowledge Supremacy

• Community Sovereignty

• Gaslighting

• Engagement Processes.

We look forward to seeing as many faces there. As usual a recording will be made and edited into an audio summary to be shared through our social channels afterwards.
