Create and test

Why do we need to create and test?

At the end of the create and test stage, your co-design team will have:

• a co-designed product or intervention ready for implementation in practice.

​Who is involved?

• The co-design team. They will work together to create a trial or prototype of the product or intervention, and refine it based on feedback from the broader community of stakeholders. They will make the recommendation for implementation of the final product or intervention.
• The broader community of stakeholders. They will test/use the trial or prototype product and provide their feedback on how it could be improved.
• External designer/facilitator. This stage needs creative thinking and methods, which can sometimes benefit from an external perspective and design expertise.

​What co-design methods, tools and templates could we use?

We have collated a list of tools which might guide this stage, but feel free to adapt these or to not use any of these at all.
