Right at the heart of it, rather than just on the sidelines. The New Morning: A Report on Participation in Healthcare
June 29, 2026
Having a say or merely having a voice? Involved or simply ‘consulted’? Hardly anyone has anything against participation – especially in the healthcare sector, where, as is well known, patients take centre stage. And yet it is often difficult to truly live up to the expectation of participation. Why is that? What approaches to genuine participation exist, and what do they entail? And which successful models from abroad could inspire Switzerland, so that patient involvement becomes the norm here too?
In the latest episode of ‘Morgen:Rapport’, Jean-Daniel Strub (Neumünster Institute) speaks with Chantal Britt, a research assistant at Bern University of Applied Sciences, who conducts research into Long Covid – among other topics – and is herself affected by it, as well as with Karin van Holten, a professor at Bern University of Applied Sciences specialising in participation in healthcare, about the power of co-determination, the challenges of implementation and the question: How can we truly put patients at the centre?
