The Personalisation Group to Integrate Social Care, Health & Well-Being was also recommended as a source of best practice and forward thinking on co-production, joined up public services, and personalisation.

Here is a short video with Clare Wightman (Grapevine), Lorna Reid (Community Catalysts), and Marc Carter (INSIGHT for Carers).

The network also wishes to invite anyone interested in learning about public service co-production. We hope to see you at the next meeting that is scheduled for the 26th of April in Birmingham!
