We are at a turning point in health policy: the nature of 21st century health, changes in society and technology call for a radical change of mindset and a reorganisation of how we govern health in the 21st century. This changes the role of the health sector, of health professionals, of patients and of citizens – and of other sectors and societal actors including the private sector. WHO 2020 Framework

Co-production means delivering public services in an equal and reciprocal relationship between professionals, people using services, their families and their neighbours. Where activities are co-produced in this way, both services and neighbourhoods become far more effective agents of change NEF/NESTA 2009

CORE PRINCIPLES Assets: Transforming the perception of people from passive recipients to equal partners. Capabilities: Building on what people can do and supporting them to put this to work. Mutuality: Reciprocal relationships with mutual responsibilities and expectations. Networks: Engaging a range of networks, inside and outside ‘services’ including peer support, to transfer knowledge. Blur roles: Removing tightly defined boundaries between professionals and recipients to enable shared responsibility and control. Catalysts: Shifting from ‘delivering’ services to supporting things to happen and catalysing other action.

Patient Leaders are those patients, users and carers who have the confidence and capability to influence change. Their main purpose is to improve health and well-being in the community and/or improve health and social care services. They do this by working with others to influence decision-making.
