Patient and Public Partner Opportunity - We will be setting up a co-production working group. The term co-production refers to a way of working where service providers and users work together to reach a collective outcome. The approach is value-driven and built on the principle that those who are affected by a service are best placed to help design it. For this work colleagues, system partners, patients, and public partners are being invited to work together to decide as a system:
• What co-production means to us?
• What the principles should be for how we want to work together?
• Create a system-wide approach to co-production
We are looking for patient and public partners to be part of this work. Patient and public partners are lay members (volunteers) who want to be involved in improving health and care. They have experience either as a patient, family member or caregiver; and help health and care professionals see things from a patient, or service user perspective. If you are interested please see the information below. Expressions of interest should be sent to Beth Fletcher, Public Involvement Manager by the 5th Feb 2023 - beth.fletcher2@nhs.net.
