Co-production at the front line: a user reflection on theory and practice.

The concept of co-production (CP) is a key concept highly developed in the public administration literature reflecting the end stage of policy implementation. It is explored through a personal account of struggle and challenges through my two-year experience as a stroke survivor. The paper provides a very personal account of CP and by so doing I hope to shed additional light on the value of CP as a theory with a rich literature and as a valuable construct for practitioners and future public administrator and policy analysts.
