- This paper by Catherine Wilton, Personalised Care Group, NHS England and NHS Improvement, describes the concept of coproduction, its origins, benefits and how it works at an individual and community level. It argues that partnership with people and communities needs to be an embedded approach for leaders at all levels within healthcare. To truly tackle the scourge of health inequality and really make a difference to people’s lives, organisations cannot afford to work by themselves in a vacuum. Leaders and policy-makers need to unleash the power of people in the workforce and communities by embracing coproduction and personalised care, and growing collaborative, inclusive leadership across the public sector.
