A guide to getting started in co-production

This guide, produced by the TEC Action Alliance (TAA), shares why co-production must be integral to health and care, always the starting point, always defined by the individual who will receive the support to live a good life.

The term ‘co-production’ describes working in partnership by sharing power between people who draw on care and support, carers, families and citizens (Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE)).

Co-production is about creating equal value and equal benefit for all stakeholders who are involved in working towards a collective outcome or improvement.

TAA shared this co-production guide to coincide with the publication of their Technology Enabled Lives: Delivering outcomes for people and providers (Challenge Paper) highlighting the potential for far greater use of technology to enable those who draw on health and care services to live the lives they want.
