At our free afternoon event on Tuesday 2nd July 2019 in Central Manchester, running during National Co-Production Week (1st-5th July), we offered an opportunity for Health and Social Care professionals to learn about citizens inquiries, juries and assemblies.
Through case studies and discussion groups we explored their increasing relevance to person-centred health and social care and towards supporting effective co-production.
