- ‘Collaboratively Speaking with UoS’. It is an exciting new podcast from the Faculty of Medicine where Professor Lucy Green, Dr Gary Hickey and Kate Henaghan-Sykes talk to patients, members of the public and researchers from the University of Southampton, the NHS and beyond who are working together to tackle some big health and social care problems. This podcast explores what brought them together, what kept them talking and the tricks they’ve found to make this work fly! The first series kicked off with a conversation with Michelle Smith (Theatre for Life), Joseph Jennings (actor and student), and Kath Woods-Townsend (LifeLab), where we talked about how they have worked together on bringing research, theatre and young people together to tell the story of the impact of climate change on the young people’s communities.

Involvement
Here is a useful Youth Involvement Model by John Huskins, which is a way of assessing youth involvement in a project:
This model was shared with us by Owl XL CIC, who have been helping to evaluate our New Things Funded Coproduction Corner work. They have experience of youth work and community development and their assistance with evaluating our project has been very much appreciated.
Ladder of coproduction
The ladder describes a series of steps towards co-production in health and social care. It supports greater understanding of the various stages of access and inclusion before full co-production is achieved. Source: Think Local Act Personal (TLAP)
