| Description | At this early stage of research delivery, some significant new research partners have been established. In particular involvement with Policy Connect's All-Party Parliamentary Design and Innovation Group affording the opportunity to contribute to the national discussions on the role of design to NetZero strategy. |
| Exploitation Route | It is anticipated that the direct beneficiary will be the Cardiac Assessment Unit (CAU) at the Western Health & Social Care Trust in Northern Ireland and their patients. The process of applying design thinking to clinical services is helping to declutter and plan services, as a skillset within the Trust. The applied design outcomes hope to provide tools to help manage service improvements. Potential for secondary outcomes, not originally anticipated in the research award application, relate to policy influence as a contributor to APDIG. These specifically relate to design's role for NetZero gain in the healthcare sector. As a result of this research, an activity has been planned funded by the AHRC Impact Acceleration Account (AH/X003361/1), by Prof Paul Rodgers and colleagues, under the remit of 'Does Design Care...?3elfast' for 4- September 2023. |

| Description | AHRC Green Transition Ecosystem Event in Northern Ireland |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | Participation in an activity, workshop or similar |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Third sector organisations |
| Results and Impact | This event will enable the audience to hear more about GTEs and how they are situated within the wider Future Observatory: Design the Green Transition programme, hear about other opportunities outside of the programme and ask questions to a panel of AHRC and FO representatives. During the event Ulster Univeristy, Queens University and the Open University were present. Ulster and Queens presented key research relating to NetZero and sustainability agendas, which featured the findings of this project. As an outcome, Prof Magee is leading an application for £4.625M to the AHRC with a collaborative bid between Ulster, Queens, Glasgow School of Art and the University of the Arts London. |

| Description | CHEAD: What does it mean to work in an interdisciplinary way? Panel presentation and discussion |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Third sector organisations |
| Results and Impact | This symposium will bring together members of the Research Alliance to discuss interdisciplinary working, team building and terms of engagement. This event will also include a workshop to explore interdisciplinary research proposals. • What are the parameters when working on an interdisciplinary research project? • What do creative researchers bring to the project? • What space do creative researchers own? • How do creative researchers share what we know without being apologists for what we don't know? • Do creative researchers need to revisit definitions in order to better understand what we are good at and what we offer? 20 Academic leaders, who are members of CHEAD Research Alliance were in attendance. The symposium is one of a series relating to developing National Design Policy. |

| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Third sector organisations |
| Results and Impact | A public talk as part of the Design Museum London forum. An update was shared on the progress of embedding design research within healthcare to synthesise complexity and strategically develop a Virtual Health Hub for Patients with Cardiovascular Disease. Specifically conceptualisation of a Realtime App., to manage the flow of patients, and Service Design for a Cardiology Virtual Assistant enabling remote patient engagement across hospital sites and diagnostic equipment. |

| Description | The Patient Game |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Third sector organisations |
| Results and Impact | This symposium debates the similarities and differences between scholarship, research and practice-based research within the creative arts. Examples of interdisciplinary case studies submitted by members of the Research Alliance were presented. Professor Magee's contribution involved a case study and panel member discussion. The talk was entitled "The Patient Game" and discussed a collaborative research journey between design, cardiology and computer science, developing 3D anatomical visualisation software, for pre-operative decision making. It included a brief introduction to the current DEP award. |
