Compass Executives are delighted to be attending ACEVO’s health and social care SiG, where we are a proud sponsor of this twice yearly event, with Senior Associate | NFP Practice Lead, Abigail Hobden-Bada, and Senior Associate, Ben Westcott attending on behalf of the Compass Executives team.

Topic: Co-production and lived experience

Speakers: Charlotte Augst, CEO, National Voices, Dot Turton, CEO, Recovery Connections, Alex Fox, CEO, Shared Lives

From the ACEVO website; evidence shows that the amount of control people have over their lives has a direct effect on their and health and well-being.

Working in partnership with people at a community level to address their needs in a more holistic way, through co-production and engaging those with lived experience in programme development and delivery, will help us tackle health inequalities and support individuals to take greater control of their own health.

But delivering genuine co-production is not easy. There are challenges in reaching the most marginalised populations and in identifying where your approach or organisational culture may need to change. There are also financial constraints and limitations of short-term projects and programmes.

This event will enable leaders in civil society health and social care organisations explore what is working well with co-production initiatives, what we can do better, and how we can engage influencers in government and the NHS in this approach.
