Putting Participation into Action
Over the past year, New Citizen Project, in partnership with West Yorkshire ICB, NHS England and the NHS North East and Yorkshire Leadership Academy, has been working with five health and care teams across West Yorkshire, exploring what it takes to support and enable greater use of co-production approaches. Through a series of workshops, individual and peer coaching, teams were equipped with a range of tools and methodologies. The programme resulted in teams taking participatory approaches to a variety of health and care projects – from service redesign, to capital projects, to reducing health inequities – pooling learning and supporting each other along the way
On 2nd September the resulting report Putting Participation into Action was published and to celebrate the launch, a virtual roundtable event will take place on Thursday 24 October from 9–10am to discuss the findings of the report and how an Integrated Care Board and the wider Integrated Care System can support and enable greater use of co-production approaches.
The roundtable will be hosted by Becky Malby, Non-executive member of NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board – Citizens and Future Generations and is aimed at leaders within Integrated Care Systems who are interested in supporting greater use of co-production approaches.

System Collaborative Programme: Applications now open
What is the System Collaborative Programme?
The Systems Collaborative Programme empowers collaboratives (small groups working for a common purpose) to transform health and care services by fostering collaboration across sectors. When the NHS, local authorities, voluntary organisations, and local partners work together, they create more effective, responsive care based on local needs.
The programme is designed for collaboratives striving to improve population health and inequalities by working across organisational boundaries and helps teams develop the collaborative leadership skills needed to tackle challenges, build trust, and deliver better health outcomes for their communities.
