Resurgence 25X for Health
RESURGENCE 25X for Health Webinar
19 May 2021
Building further on the momentum of the initial Resurgence 25X and the Resurgence 25X for the Arts webinars. On the 19th of May, ATPO, in association with workLAB Waterford, convened a webinar dedicated to a vibrant recovery from COVID 19 for the Health sector. As is fully appreciated front-line combat with the virus, by all in the Health sector, has been exhaustive and for some demoralising. But this event was about looking a little ahead to see what possible positive change in the sector is achievable. And also looking back to see examples of resurgence from chaos and crisis. It is intended as a platform for ideas that will help its recovery. The intention is to share, magnify, and multiply the ideas and opportunities for a resurgence for the Health sector that can be adopted now and show fruit in 2025.
The event included
(A) My perspectives on mindset and momentum creation and key momentum shift for the Health sector.
(B) Inputs from 5 guest contributors presenting examples from a diverse range of expertise, practice, and perspectives.
(C) 5 customised interactive enggement activities (the X element) to expand on and multiply the resurgence themes from
the event.
Each of the guest speakers was given the same ‘5 for 25X’ challenge. To speak about their perspective on resurgence for the Health sector based on their knowledge, experience, and ideas for our recovery from COVID 19 over the next few years (to 2025). To add to the challenge each speaker was asked to provide at least 5 examples of resurgence in their delivery.
The guest contributors and their contributions are presented below.
