Co-production Week 2022

National Co-production Week was back for a seventh year, taking place in July 2022. It celebrated the benefits of co-production, share good practice and promote the contribution of people who use services and carers in developing better public services.

The theme is The impact of co-production

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 offers people real choice and control.
