We have gathered some case studies and examples of co-production practice in health and in social care, to translate the theoretical frameworks in Part 1 into what it looks like on the ground. These are intended to offer some inspiration and a sense of the wide range of contexts where co-production can make a difference and add value. Remember that every situation (service, team, community of service users) is different, and your co-production will be similar but unique!
