Health Innovation Oxford & Thames Valley convenes and chairs the Working Together Partnership. The group brings together infrastructure organisations from across the Thames Valley and Milton Keynes that have a shared interest in developing patient and public involvement, co-production, person-centered care and research. The group meets every six to eight weeks, and delivers a range of training and development events.
Next event:
- 24 March 2025 – Introduction to writing for the public, a three-hour in-person workshop
Working Together Principles
- Doing things together – we support patients, carers and the public to be involved throughout our work from shaping early thinking to evaluating the end result.
- Being inclusive – we actively involve all stakeholders, including those who are seldom heard and ensure that our communications are accessible to all.
- Doing things once and sharing – we use existing expertise and structures whenever possible and coordinate our work with other organisations.
- Being open about what we are doing and why – we publish our minutes and updates on joint work.
