Making it Real What’s happening nationally

• Developed with National

Co-production Advisory Group

• “Co-production is not just

a word or concept, it is a meeting of minds coming together to find the best way forward.”

• People are equal partners

and able to share power.

• People who use services

start and finish the work together, and do not come in half-way.

Why use “I” statements?

• The statements remind

professionals that people who use services and patients are at the centre of all we do.

• All organisations across Health

and Social Care have one thing in common - whether they are called patients, residents, families or customers or people who use services – all are working with and for people.

In tough times we need something to aspire to….

For example:

Progress so far

• 630 organisations registered
• Half of all councils
• 20% of MIR orgs in the NW
• Increase in number of action

plans being uploaded (15% of all orgs)

• Increase in number of
• rganisations sharing their

learning through the website.

• Now preparing an evaluation

to see how much of a difference MIR is making.

National support events and networking

• Events with Skills for Care (MIR & workforce)
• Workshops with SITRA (MIR & housing)
• In control - action leaning sets / information events
• Regional programmes across England
• Carers and Young Carers events co-produced with ADASS,

Dementia)

• A joint initiative between

Carers Trust, TLAP and ADASS

• Coproduced with carers and

their organisations

compare what’s happening locally for carers and identify what could be done better.

As a corporate supporter

• f TLAP I needed to put

my money where my mouth was and be part

• f Making it Real so that

we as a charity could learn from it.” Bill Mumford

West Midlands Sector Led Improvement programme

“Individual services will have the kitemark rather than the

• rganisation as a whole. It

will mean that they can be proud of what they have achieved and we hope that,

• ver time, all our services

will have earned the

• kitemark. Action on hearing

loss.

Action on Hearing Loss

We felt that we lacked

• rganisation to begin with and

had some teething issues that became apparent. Service users now seem to enjoy the day and value its opportunities. For many individuals the reduction in day centre placements was felt keenly. This new activity based day has lead to more positive behaviour and increased skills development.

The CCG wants to work in a different way; it wants to give a commitment to ensure that those providing and receiving care work together to plan and implement services in the areas where those individuals have most interest and knowledge. North East Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group
