The Oxford AHSN convenes and chairs the Working Together Operational Group. It brings together infrastructure organisations from across the Thames Valley and Milton Keynes that have a shared interest in developing patient and public involvement, co-production, person-centred care and research.
Working Together Principles
Doing things together – we support patients, carers and the public to be involved throughout our work from shaping early thinking to evaluating the end result.- Being inclusive – we actively involve all stakeholders, including those who are seldom heard and ensure that our communications are accessible to all.
- Doing things once and sharing – we use existing expertise and structures whenever possible and coordinate our work with other organisations.
- Being open about what we are doing and why – we publish our minutes and updates on joint work.
