Abstract

This chapter provides a case study of research undertaken in the UK which examines improving the provision of a pulmonary rehabilitation programme by engaging with patients. From undertaking experience-based interviews with staff, patient and relative participants and patient-led workshops and mapping activities it was possible to implement a number of Plan-do-study-act cycles of change. Drawing on the principles of Experienced-based co-design and a conceptual co-production model we illustrate the wider learning for co-producing improvement activity from this case.
