About this course
Thanks to funding from NHS England, we have partnered with IPS Grow to introduce this training.
This course is designed for team leaders and service managers in NHS funded secondary mental health services. It explores coproduction practice to ensure the voice of service users are included in service design and delivery. Participants will gain practical knowledge and skills to effectively engage and work alongside our clients as people with lived experience (PWLE), ensuring their voices are integral to service development and delivery.
The training will cover:
What is coproduction?
- Understanding the principles and significance of coproduction.
- Exploring the benefits of involving clients and other people with lived experience in decision-making processes.
Recruiting People with Lived Experience (PWLE)
- Strategies for recruiting PWLE.
- Highlighting the benefits to PWLE of becoming involved in coproduction.
Best Practices in working with PWLE
- Setting up and managing a local panel of PWLE.
- Addressing reimbursement and payment issues.
Key coproduction topics
- Effective recruitment panels.
- Developing and utilising case studies.
- Creating service user-friendly materials.
- Engaging speakers with lived experience.
Course Format: This training will be delivered through a combination of interactive workshops and practical exercises, providing participants with both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. We will encourage participants to create an action plan to take forward after the training.
