Navigating co-production & public involvement in research using data

Description:

Understand & define co-production principles & values within the context of data linkage research. Designed for beginners or those wishing to grow their knowledge.

 

Course description:

This course teaches learners how to apply co-production principles in data linkage research, using sector-leading frameworks, useful tools and real examples of working with seldom-heard groups, charity partners and public bodies. The training will enable learners to:

• Understand co-production principles and values and how they apply specifically within the context of data linkage.
• Identify key features of robust co-production strategies and how they fit with existing frameworks.
• Recognise potential gaps in existing approaches by exploring how to critically assess different approaches to involvement and co-production, identifying potential shortcomings or areas for improvement.
• Develop detailed co-production strategies by understanding how to integrate co-production principles into the data linkage process effectively.
• Exploring case study demonstrating how co-production principles can be applied in real-life contexts.
• Developing and delivering their own co-production strategies within the context of data linkage. This practical component is essential for reinforcing theoretical concepts and building practical skills.
• Collaborative learning and peer support: Delivered by active researchers from Administrative Data Research Wales, Health Data Research UK Wales, and the Centre for Population Health (CPH), learners will benefit from their peers through their real-world experiences.

 

Learning mode

This course will be delivered online over two days.

• Learners will be sent a pack of learning materials and toolkits which will be used during the course, but will also be useful for delivering co-production in their own roles.
• Specific time slots can be booked with individual members of the team for the discussion of any questions related to their own current work or projects.
• Learners will be required to complete an assignment as part of the assessment of the course.
• Learners will be able to learn from experienced members of the CPH patient and public involvement group.

Learning outcomes

1. Define Co-production and differentiate it from Patient and Public Engagement (PPE) and Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) using appropriate guidance for specific contexts.
2. Critically assess different co-production strategies across different contexts and settings to identify features of robust co-production and gaps.
3. Explain the principles and values of co-production using appropriate guidance (e.g. NIHR)  and how these could be applied in practice, with a focus on data linkage research.
4. Understand how to approach co-production with different groups in practice, particularly vulnerable populations.
5. Write a full and detailed co-production strategy; which incorporates co-production principles and values including milestones, resources and time frame whilst considering different contexts, settings and populations.
