The Health Facilitation and Involvement Team listens to people’s experiences of health care to make services better for people with a learning disability.

What is Co-production?

Co-production is based on the idea that the people who use services are the best people to design them.

When co-production happens all the people involved in a service share power – “we are all experts in different ways”.

Co-production in the Learning Disability Service

In the Health Facilitation and Involvement Team we employ people with a learning disability.

They use their experience of healthcare services, to help to make our services better.

We work as a team of co-workers.

This means people with a learning disability and people without working with each other as equals.

What we do

• Make accessible information

• Host workshops and training sessions

• Do research with other service users

• Co-chair or be involved in meetings to improve services

• Recruitment support
