Annotation	Co-constructed inquiry (CCI) has been built in partnership with specialist nurse practitioners, university-based researchers (with a clinical background in stroke and dementia care) and people with long-term conditions. CCI introduces the language of drama and theatre into the theory building and reporting process, and consists of three stages: building the set; performing the production; and bringing down the curtain. People with long-term conditions represent subjective experience through the production of a life story script, a personal theory and, eventually, a collective theory. The personal theory is usually presented as a series of diagrams. CCI sheds new light on participative methods of inquiry and in the development of co-constructed grounded theory. (RH).
