Groups most severely affected by COVID-19 have tended to be those marginalised before the pandemic and are now being largely ignored in developing responses to it. This two-volume set of Rapid Responses explores the urgent need to put co-production and participatory approaches at the heart of responses to the pandemic and demonstrates how policymakers, health and social care practitioners, patients, service users, carers and public contributors can make this happen. The second volume focuses on methods and means of co-producing during a pandemic. It explores a variety of case studies from across the global North and South and addresses the practical considerations of co-producing knowledge both now - at a distance - and in the future when the pandemic is over.

Experimental Project

This paper gives an account of a part of a wider research carried out on 12 italian Regions by title Experimental project of monitoring, evaluation and dissemination of knowledge on governance and national plans, regional and area plans within the policies of inclusion. In particular, it analizes the dimension of professional integration, both at the regulatory and daily practice levels. It clearly appears the shared conviction at the various levels for the need to operate in a way that is ever more oriented to integration, in so far as it represents a strategic means of welfare construction for citizens. In addition, in some regions testimonies of positive integration have been collected, especially in the field of non-self-sufficiency. Naturally, there are many difficulties that often make integration a practice entrusted to the goodwill of the health care professionals, rather than a process fully integrated in a system of policies and services.
