Abstract

A recent systematic review found that coproduction of learning resources in nursing and midwifery education supported students’ increased knowledge, self efficacy and confidence1. However, this review did not report on programme level curriculum development. Curriculum development is traditionally undertaken by individuals in schools of nursing and midwifery using consultative processes. However the Nursing and Midwifery Council, in 2019, mandated the involvement of service uses/carers and practice partners in coproducing curricula to outcome based standards2. Co-production is an umbrella process whereby all stakeholders think of shared solutions to an issue. The purpose is to consider new and novel solutions valuing the expertise of all stakeholders. Not everyone agrees but differences are discussed and consensus reached with everyone feeling their views have been acknowledged and respected3.

Using the socioecological model4, this presentation reports on how coproduction, codelivery and co-design is embedded into the culture, policy and organisation of the School of nursing and midwifery at one university in Northern Ireland. At programme level, we engaged service users/ carers/ students/academics and practice partners interacting around the same table supporting shared decision making5.These workshops embedded the ethos of coproduction at School level. Once coproduction principles were in place, we moved to the use of co-design. Co-design workshops tend to be smaller as codesign is a time bounded process producing an output that still requires shared leadership and partnership working. All stakeholders identified their influence within the broader curriculum encouraging module leads to continue the coproduction ethos by engaging service users/ carers in codelivery and students in codesign of learning resources. We will report on the impact these codesign resources have had on student experience and student learning. We present a working framework for coproduction, codelivery and codesign in nursing and midwifery education.
