Event: FROM MASS PRODUCTION TO CO-PRODUCTION: THE FUTURE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND THE NHS?

[Frankie Hine-Hughes]

Tuesday, 26 June, 5-7 PM, Durham Town Hall (Lantern Room) (click here for a map)

 

Join an exciting debate with leading thinkers, officers and councillors from Durham on the transformation of health and social care in the UK.

 

The discussion will provide a state-of-the-art overview of new forms of collaboration with service users and communities in health and social care and the role of user and community co-production in improving and safeguarding services.

 

Key issues will include:

• Can co-production improve outcomes?
• Can co-production bring efficiency savings?
• Is co-production just a cover-up for spending cuts?
• How can the barriers to co-production be overcome?
• How much will co-production cost?

 

The panel discussion will be followed by a drinks reception and give you the opportunity to network.

 

Who is on the panel?

• Elke Loeffler, Chief Executive, Governance International.
• Professor Bob Hudson, University of Durham.
• Anna Lynch, Director of Public Health for County Durham.
• Morris Nichols, Cabinet Member for Social Services. (tbc)
