At 7pm on 21 September 2020, people living with musculoskeletal conditions and healthcare professionals and policy influencers congregated in anticipation of a tweet chat on Twitter – ‘Power to the People.’
The tweet chat encompassed co-production of a new NHS MSK strategy – patients and healthcare professionals improving care together. The discussion for that hour involved 51 people, 279 posts, 1197 engagements. The #MSKCoPro was seen over half a million times by over 100,000 users.
If you missed it, there were too many tweets to publish them all, but here are some of the themes that emerged in response to questions about:
- The benefits of coproduction
- What gets in the way
- What helps
- Practical examples of coproduction in action
Please feel free to continue the chat using #MSKCoPro.
