Co-production - in Research and Practice

Welcome to a seminar where Elke Loeffler* shares her experiences of how co-production can strengthen quality, participation, and innovation in welfare systems. The starting point is the book Co-Production of Public Services and Outcomes, in which Elke uses international case studies and evidence-based research to show how users, employees, and society can work together to develop better healthcare and welfare services.

The seminar is aimed at researchers and professionals who want to deepen their understanding of how co-production can be translated into practice, leadership, and research.

*Elke Loeffler is Director of the Institute of Local Government Studies at the University of Birmingham in the UK and has expertise in the co-production of public services, particularly in health and social care. She combines research and practical experience from international case studies and service development with users and citizens. The seminar is based on her insights into how co-production improves quality and outcomes in healthcare and how it can be translated into both practice and research.

The seminar will be held in English and will take place in a hybrid format. The seminar will take place at the School of Health and Welfare, room number and link to the seminar will be announced shortly.

No registration is required.

The seminar is arranged by Jönköping Academy for Improvement of Health and Welfare and the Department of Social Work, School of Health and Welfare.
