Co Production
Co-production fully recognizes the unique relationship and understanding staff have with customers and that harnessing their expertise to shape the future development of care provision and the design of the project is critical.
When we talk about “co-production” we need to remember it’s not just a word, nor indeed is it just a concept, when we think of co-production, we must understand it is a meeting of minds, its people coming together to find a shared solution. For Capability Scotland it means we involve people who use a service, and that we work together from the start to the finish of any project that affects them.
We have appointed a full time Co Production Leader, Jennifer Dalrymple, for this project. Jennifer has been working with customers, staff and family members on this project since January 2022 to ensure their ideas are embedded into the proposals for Bertha Park.
Our Inclusive Community Project at Bertha Park, Perth, sets out, through a co-production and collaborative process, to deliver exemplar support and accommodation that will enable customers to have greater quality of life, offering more choices around establishing and fulfilling their personal goals and the opportunities available to them.
