Abstract

We are living in increasingly digital times, excelled at pace by the COVID-19 pandemic, and as such children are more frequently engaging with the digital sphere. In this chapter, we draw attention to how participatory methods were used to consult with children, and their parents and discuss how we have worked together to co-create two different animations, one about receiving outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT), the other about having virtual consultations. The animation about receiving OPAT utilised remote participatory methods with children who were at home, and the other utilised face-to-face participatory methods in a workshop style. We identify the opportunities of being participatory through animation, as well as highlighting the challenges we faced when working with children and parents.
