Abstract

Summary Value co‐creation focuses on creating value with and for multiple stakeholders — through purposeful engagement, facilitated processes and enriched experiences — to co‐design new products and services. User‐centred design enables multidisciplinary teams to design and develop or adapt resources from the end user’s perspective.Combining value co‐creation and user‐centred design offers an effective, efficient, user‐friendly and satisfying experience for all participants, and can result in co‐created, tailored and fit‐for‐purpose resources. These resources are more likely to be adopted, be usable, be sustainable and produce outcomes that matter, and thereby create value for all parties.Over the past 6 years, the Education and Innovation Department at Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited has used these methods to co‐create education and training programs to build workforce capacity and support implementation of many person‐centred integrated care programs.In this article, we present examples of how Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited used value co‐creation and user‐centred design to develop and deliver education programs in primary health care, and offer insights into how program developers can use these methods to co‐create any health care product, service or resource to better address end user needs and preferences.As we strive to strengthen the role of consumers as active partners in care and improve service delivery, patient outcomes and patient experiences in Australia, it is timely to explore how we can use value co‐creation and user‐centred design at all levels of the system to jointly create better value for all stakeholders.
