Tower Hamlets Together-Coproduction Network

Local health and care organisations along with partners Healthwatch Tower Hamlets and voluntary and community sector want to involve people to better the way services are reviewed and developed. This is important as services need to make sure they are using their resources in the best way to treat and support people. This is about how everyone can work together better to make sure health and care services are accessible and work for all the people of Tower Hamlets. 

This way of working together is known as coproduction. Coproduction is being increasingly used to review and develop services. The Council worked with people develop a document to help people understand what coproduction is about, you can see this document here. A partnership of Council, the NHS, Healthwatch Tower Hamlets and Tower Hamlets Council of Voluntary Services, known as Tower Hamlets Together (THT) has bought together a group to look into how to improve the use of coproduction. 

This group is the THT Coproduction Task and Finish Group. It has been reviewing coproduction in Tower Hamlets and plans a series of meetings from March to May this year to see how coproduction can be better used in the work of the THT partnership. The final meeting in this series of events is a public meeting where people can hear more about this work and say if they think the ideas are good or could be improved. Look out for announcements about these meetings in the coming weeks. To find out more about this group's work see the attached Terms of Reference.
