Co-production Special Interest Group

Following feedback and to support co-production in improvement beyond our programmes, the co-production Special Interest Group was formed in 2025. 


The group provides an opportunity to ask questions, gain peer support to overcome challenges and learn more about co-production, as co-production is a mindset and culture, not a task and finish activity. 

What the group offers


The Co-production Special Interest Group is a space for staff, patients, carers and community members to come together and explore how services can be designed and improved in partnership. The group provides:


  • Regular discussions - opportunities to share experiences and ideas about co-production in practice.

  • Learning and resources - tools, case studies and guidance to support meaningful involvement.

  • Guest speakers - insights from people with lived experience and professionals who have successfully embedded co-production.

  • Collaboration - a safe, supportive environment to test new ideas and approaches together.

The group meets up online every 3 months to learn and support each other in working alongside patients, people and communities to improve services.
