Shaping co-production together

Last spring and summer, NHS Greater Manchester and partners from the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) held a series of workshops to explore building a shared culture of co-production. These sessions kick-started important conversations about what co-production means and how to achieve consistency across our partnership.

However, we know that truly defining co-production requires more than internal discussions - it needs the voices and experiences of everyone involved.

Measuring what matters most: understanding national well-being

“How’s life?”
This might be a simple question to answer for some, but our well-being, be it personal or national, is made up of so many different things. This could include how happy or anxious we feel, to how often we volunteer, to the abundance of important wildlife species in the UK.

Measuring national well-being helps us to understand how we’re doing beyond standard economic measures. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows what matters most to people when it comes to living a good and meaningful life.

Greater Manchester Older People's Network

Are you interested in becoming a vaccinations champion for older people?

The Greater Manchester Older People’s Network are working with the NHS to share information about vaccinations with people across Greater Manchester who can then share with their communities, groups and networks.

Viruses common in winter can make some people very unwell and result in serious problems that may need hospital care. The NHS offers free vaccines to those at greatest risk, so they can get the protection they need.
