About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Do you want to influence change in health services or other organisations by using lived experience?

Co-production is considered to be the best way of improving services. It brings the people who deliver services and people who use the services together to make a difference.

This course aims to provide an understanding of co-production, it’s benefits and barriers and provide space to consider how co-production can be implemented in services and other organisations.

Taking part in co-production can increase people’s self-worth and confidence, provide skills and experiences and gain a new sense of purpose.

This course is the first of two separate courses about co-production and after attending students will be able to recognise what true coproduction really is and understand the strength of the assets we all bring to a situation every time we co-create an action plan.
