Can we innovate co-production? "Co-production can be a live thing that happens every day in your organisation. Every time you're engaging with a carer, there's an opportunity to learn something new." Listen in to our Co-Production Special of the Carer Catalysts podcast - an episode recorded live with a brilliant panel of guests:🎙 Mark Dale has worked in Patient and Public Involvement for over 30 years. A person with living experience of mental and physical illness, Mark now leads on co-production at his local NHS trust and works locally and nationally on co-production, co-design, and equality and diversity.🎙 Natasha Ereira-Guyer, Founder Director of Civil Society Consulting, will share experience and understanding of social impact, community research and the needs of the sector. Committed to sustainable social development, Natasha is passionate about applying understanding of human behaviour and cognition to strengthening civil society.🎙 Charlotte Newman is CEO of Carefree - the award-winning charity using digital innovation to transform vacant accommodation into vital breaks for unpaid carers. Carefree embeds co-production at every turn, so we’re excited to hear Charlotte share more about their learnings.🎙Mobilise Co-Founder and Head of Carer Support - Suzanne Bourne.

Dr Clenton Farquharson CBE - Chair of Think Local, Act Personal

Envisioning the 'gloriously ordinary life' "The big picture for me in co-production is how do we enable people to flourish to get a gloriously ordinary life?"Think of it about, you know, it could be 15,000 piece jigsaw." Bringing his experience - as someone who has cared for family, received care, and who has a view of the 'big picture' system - Dr Clenton Farquharson speaks with James in this insightful episode of Carer Catalysts. Exploring how we can make a shared, positive vision for social care a reality, through to why we need to see co-production as a 'long-term relationship' (not a 'one-night-stand'), Clenton offers a refreshing, passionate perspective of what can be done - right now and in the coming years - to innovate carer support. Expect to hear James and Clenton talking about love, joy, curiosity, creativity and unleashing potential - not just funding entitlements, reform and the systematic language we've become so familiar with. We hope you enjoy listening!

Emily Kenway - Author of 'Who Cares'

Are we 'freaked out' by the topic of care? What's does community have to do with caring for others? And where do we, as individuals, and 'the system' play a role? These are all questions Suzanne tackles with Emily Kenway, esteemed author of 'Who Cares: the hidden crisis of caregiving and how we solve it'. Emily takes us through some of the key themes of her book - which, through unflinching investigation, asks why we have a 'care crisis'. Suzanne asks for Emily's 'rallying cry' to decision makers influencing carer support, and together they speak about their experiences of caring for loved ones. Be sure to listen to this great episode, and give 'Who Cares' a read too - you can find it online here: <a href="https://geni.us/whocares">https://geni.us/whocares</a> <ul><li>(00:00) - Welcome to Carer Catalysts </li> <li>(00:49) - What's coming up in this episode? </li> <li>(02:02) - Introducing Emily Kenway: Author of 'Who Cares' </li> <li>(06:18) - The experience of sharing your caring journey </li> <li>(09:00) - The benefits, challenges and importance of co-production </li> <li>(14:53) - Are things getting better or worse? </li> <li>(18:23) - Are we freaked out by the topic of caring?
