This introduction examines how co-production has been used in health and care settings to date, what good co-production would look like, and how these resources have been developed.

This literature review examines the available evidence on how co-production is used, what makes it successful, and what challenges/barriers exist to its deployment in care settings.

The resource guide here examines what co-production is, the design of a co-production model and how it can be used in care in future.
