Carrying out healthcare improvement research without working with the people actively embedded in the system may not translate into practice. But who should be involved and how can they contribute to enhancing research in a meaningful way. 

In this episode, host Graham Martin and guests Oli Williams, Michelle Peter and Nicola Boydell unpack terms such as co-production (and how they can be misunderstood), and explore how to put these concepts into action and the ways they can inform improvement research. They’ll discuss: 

• How can we amplify the voices of underrepresented groups, so we find solutions for the disparities that exist in maternal and pregnancy outcomes? 
• How can engaging the right people lead to improvement within sexual and reproductive health services? 
• What are the three categories of co-production and how are they used in designing healthcare services research.
