In the Swedish practice of “fika” workers gather for coffee and a small sandwich in mid-morning. They then talk about their work. In this episode, we use the idea of “fika” to reflect on what we’ve learned about coproduction so far and where we’re headed next: how science informs the practices where “disease or condition”, “illness”, and “service” come together. Knowledge of all three components is basic to the coproduction of a healthcare service. Integrating them is a form of knowledge and skill in itself.
The Power of Coproduction is a podcast series about redesigning health care services to achieve better health through mutual respect, collaboration, and science-informed practices.
