Co-producing an NHS Tender
The Valuing Lives, Respecting Deaths (VLRD) Collaboration is led by the University of Plymouth and has been co-produced with researchers with learning disabilities (Speakup Self-advocacy and Stop People with a Learning Disability Dying Too Young) and the Universities of Sheffield, Exeter and Warwick.
The VLRD’s unique value and strength lies in its nation-wide interdisciplinary model of data analysis, co-production, evidence and clinical insight, theory to clinic, AI and innovation. VLRD utilises a hub, spoke and wheel model supporting national contributions and dissemination of recommendations to put data theory into practice. One of the co-research partners – Speakup Self-advocacy – have prepared the following Easy Read version of the application.
