Co-production resources
Authentic co-production moves beyond common consultative approaches to develop equal partnerships between lived experience and researchers. This requires transforming how various forms of knowledge and expertise are viewed and dismantling pervasive power imbalances that underpin healthcare and academic systems. As a collective embedded within a research centre, LEN aims to engage with and inform co-produced research, we hope these resources further support that endeavour.
