Methods:

Daylong observations and semi-structured interviews (see appendix 2 for interview schedule) at four
member organisations that were delivering, or had previously delivered, coproduced health programmes
in community settings:
NTA (n= 3 interviews, 1 observation)
ELAYS (n= 1 interview, 1 observation)
Holy Trinity Church, Roehampton (n = 1 interview)
Mushkil Aassan (n = 2 interviews, 1 observation)
In addition to observations and interviews, an individual outcomes survey was distributed to community
members who participated in coproduced services at each site (Total n = 26). The survey explored
community member’s attitudes and experiences of coproduced services, where applicable, across
sites. The survey adapted the following health and wellbeing measures:
o Quality indicators for primary care mental health services
o New Economic Foundation (NEF) Short form well-being survey
o Patient Activation Measure (PAM)
o MOS Social Support Survey
Finally, in order to explore how each organisation integrated with the wider network and assess
processes guiding the network as a whole, an additional four observations of member organisation
activities were conducted:
o Coproduction reference group meeting (two hours)
o Healing our Broken Village conference (eight hours)
o BME mental health forum (two hours)
o Wandsworth Advice network meeting (initial partnership meeting with WCEN) (two hours)

Phase 3: Participatory Learning Appraisal with Statutory Services

A one-day PLA workshop was conducted with statutory partners within WCEN. The aim of these
workshops was to generate an understanding of how statutory partners saw ideas and concepts related
to coproduction, community engagement and the work of WCEN. Following a 1.5-hour focus group
discussion with 18 participants representing statutory partners across sectors within the health
economy, participants completed two hours of PLA activities. Activities were as follows:

Organisational mapping – This activity visualised and explored statutory partners’ impressions of
community health services and how communities are positioned within the wider health economy.

Coproduction vignettes – Small group discussions of vignettes of coproduction were facilitated.
Each vignette presented an example of WCEN coproduction activities. Participants were advised
to identify the benefits, challenges, opportunities and constraints to employing coproduced services
within the context of how they used the practice.

In the weeks following the workshop, eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with key
individuals in various statutory agencies who have been involved with coproduction work with WCEN
over the past eight years. The interview schedule is presented in appendix 3.
