Co-production training for public health professionals in Leeds

Showing public health registrars how co-production can help them improve communities’ health and wellbeing

The challenge 

In 2023 trainee public health registrars wanted to understand how co-production could help them improve communities’ health and wellbeing.

What we did

We trained 35 people from a range of local authority, NHS and academic organisations who were all on the path to becoming senior public health leaders. 

Our approach combined engaging presentations and practical activities covering: 

asset-based working, appreciative inquiry, co-production, customer journey mapping, and bringing together quantitative and qualitative data to create meaningful change. 

We also facilitated an open space session, designed to maximize group engagement and creativity by allowing people to design and manage the agenda for part of the day. 

People left the training with a fuller understanding of co-production, greater confidence from using and experiencing these approaches, and inspiration to embed it within their organisations. 

Our impact

After the event, one of the conference organisers told us:

 “It was an absolutely fantastic day… Everyone really engaged with the material, learnt lots and we also had some really important discussions about our own network. 

“It was a great opportunity to do this together, and to showcase co-production to future consultants. 

“We could see how much effort Lucie and Kate put in, and we especially appreciated how clearly Lucie and Kate understood our brief for the day, which they managed really well.”
