Co-production
Co-production
We know the NHS and social care system don’t have all the answers and we want to harness the energy, ideas and enthusiasm of our community to help us tackle the issues that are challenging our services. Services are better when the voice of the patient, the community and the staff help shape the delivery of our health and care.
After the Healthcare For The Future consultation, health leaders promised to work with our communities to implement changes and improve and develop our services. It is open to everyone who cares about our services and wants to work constructively to develop them.
We are learning as we go about effective ‘working together’ and will share best practice as it develops.
