A checklist to enable strategists, managers, service users, groups and practitioners to co-create change by understanding and addressing practical issues that are likely to come up during the co-production process. The checklist is divided into four main steps: What activity do you want to co-produce and why?; Developing a shared understanding about the problem or issue being addressed; Identifying desirable outcomes and paying attention to the process; Tracking progress; and Learning from experience. It includes a series of questions and suggested strategies for each step in the process. The checklist is one of a series of publications produced as part of the NDTi’s ‘Peoples Voice’ programme, with funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, and has been co-produced with people who use services.

This briefing summarises the findings of research on the cost effectiveness of different service models and commissioning approaches to employment support for people with mental health problems or learning disabilities. The study analysed national data and in addition analysed cost and outcome data from 70 different sites and also carried out fieldwork visits to six sites. Data analysis included an analysis of costs per job outcome (securing new jobs, retaining jobs or moving into self employment). Good evidence was also found to support Individual Placement and Support (IPS) in mental health services and supported employment in learning disabilities services were the most effective ways of supporting people. The study also identified five different organisational or system 'conditions' that were most likely to be found in successful cost effective services.

Shares the knowledge and experience from an evaluation of six NHS sites in the East of England Strategic Clinical Network region which adopted co-production to develop support for long-term health conditions such as progressive neurological disease, mental health and learning disabilities. The evaluation findings are reported in three sections. Section one looks at how the projects worked in co-production, the challenges they faced, the lessons they learned and the outcomes achieved around working in co-production. Section two reports on the activities and progress made towards to achieving an improved service outcome for people using services. Section three discusses the wider impact of the projects in local areas going forward. The sites all faced challenges in implementing co-production, These included the process being more time-consuming than anticipated; more resource intensive; and difficulties in achieving equal partnerships due to well-established power relationships. However, early evidence suggests that alternative approaches to service delivery are developing that should lead to outcome and cost-effective benefits in the future. In addition the projects have identified an increased understanding between services and people who use services and benefits for those involved including development of skill levels and work competencies. The report identifies eight lessons for those trying to implement co-production strategies within the health sector. (Edited publisher abstract)
