We believe that working in partnership with our community and patients is the best way to transform research and ideas into sustainable improvements in health. It allows a better understanding of real needs and also helps reduce inequality. In this month’s newsletter, two colleagues, Erin and Agnese, share what they have learned about co-production through working collaboratively with patients and communities. We’re also offering to support NHS organisations within our region to use the online patient feedback platform Care Opinion to listen, respond to and act on patient feedback – more details on how to apply below.
Charlie Davie, Managing Director, UCLPartners 

What should co-production look like?

Erin Walker is our Patient and Public Involvement Lead and she's been part of a coproduction group who teamed up to produce an infographic that explains what coproduction is. 

If you've ever wondered what the term 'coproduction'
actually means, what the key principles are and what it should look like in practice, Erin's blog is here to break it down for you.
