‘Slow co-production’ for deeper patient involvement in health care

Journal Title: The Journal of Health Design - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

“Slow co-production”, achieved by involving patients in in-depth research, can help deepen patient involvement in health care. Using our participatory qualitative research project, This Sickle Cell Life, as a case study, we describe how slow co-production offers a specific and mutually beneficial form of patient and public involvement and engagement (PPI/E). As well as generating in- depth qualitative data for researchers, slow co-production can generate high-quality, patient-centred knowledge to inform service improvement and to allow examination and reflection on the co-production processes and relationships themselves. All of these outcomes can deliver benefits for patients, their parents and carers, and health services.
