Highlights from National Co-production Week 2017
SCIE’s National Co-production Week in July 2017 was the second annual event, which shared the benefits of co-production, shared good practice and highlighted the contribution of people who use services and carers to developing better public services.
Co-production is about working in equal partnership with people using services, carers, families and citizens. Co-production offers the chance to transform social care and health provision to a model that that offers people real choice and control.
