My Darzi Fellowship challenge integrated coproduction, an inclusion approach to redress inequalities and Quality Improvement. The project purpose was the redistribution of power, whereby citizens identify the local needs and coproduce the agenda for improving quality in the Barkantine practice, Tower Hamlets. The project embodied power sharing at every level: system collaboration via a steering group, and a project team that included staff and community. We achieved phase one aim of identifying 7 QI themes by May 2020. We achieved phase two aim of training community staff in QI basics, and began implementing a new QI co-coaching model.
