The purpose of this paper is to provide a profile of Jo Mullen.

Jo provides a short background to her life and is then interviewed by Jerome.

Jo tells us about the teaching resources that she has developed to increase understanding of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

While this is a single case study, it contains numerous helpful insights of how Jo has developed and presented her work, along with two mental health nurses, and of the high quality educational interventions she has produced.

Jo presents a model of co-production, where service partner and mental health professional are equals.

It would be helpful if mental health services invested in supporting talented individuals like Jo, to develop and disseminate the tools she has created.

Thus far Jo has written her own personal account of what it is like to cope with BPD, a bigger training resource, “Wot R U Like?” and a board game, Personapoly, to help individuals solve social and personal problems.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an example of patient-led co-production.

The New Economics Foundation’s six principles of co-production (nef, 2013) have been used to frame the activities undertaken during the author’s relationship with a community mental health nurse.

This paper describes a co-produced project between a patient and a community mental health nurse to create a range of resources and to deliver training, resulting in mutual benefit for both parties.

This paper invites policy makers to consider the unique role that community mental health nurses can play in supporting patients with long-term challenges that have developed because of an imbalance and an abuse of power within earlier relationships; by adopting a co-production approach, centred on the patient’s interests and skills, a working partnership can be achieved wherein both parties feel that they matter.

Co-production is usually used with groups of stakeholders working together in an equitable way to design or deliver a new service; this paper, however, seeks to demonstrate how the process can be effectively used when the project is patient-led within the context of a therapeutic relationship.
