Taking Forward Coproduction in NHS London

There has been growing interest in the idea of co-production at all levels in the NHS. This event has come about following recent discussions amongst members of the London co-production network to further explore what role we might play to facilitate a deeper engagement in co-production activities and to invite NHS and local authority partners and others to begin a dialogue with us on a shared agenda for developing capacity for co-production in the NHS. The purpose of the workshop is to invite people with an interest in co-production in the NHS and the wider health and wellbeing sector to share practical ideas on how to address key issues and challenges including:

• How best to help embed and sustain co-production across the NHS in London?
• Can we identify new opportunities for developing co-production at the centre of new organisational arrangements including health and wellbeing boards, new local education and training networks and innovative commissioning processes?
• What do professionals need to be able to know and to do effectively to successfully engage in co-production for health?
• What can Health and Wellbeing learn from co-production in other sectors?

The workshop will provide an opportunity for sharing experiences of co-production in health and beyond; understanding in more depth how co-production can be positioned within a broader workforce development and learning context and how patients and service users can be better supported to take on leading roles for developing a co-pro approach within their local health communities. We also wish to explore how best to invest in making co-pro work effectively across the NHS in London and the optimal conditions for cultivating effective and transformative models of co-production in health.
