Patient and Public EngagementPurpose and People David Gilbert Director, InHealth Associates Co-Director, Centre for Patient Leadership 19th March 2013
Engaging patients and the public - we all benefit... • Moral • Business • Social and political • Health • Legal • Engaging with patients and the public can happen at two levels: • • Individual level – 'my say' in decisions about my own care and treatment (often referred to as shared decision-making) • • Collective level – ‘my’ or ‘our say’ in decisions about commissioning and delivery of services • The Engagement Cycle focuses on the collective level

OUTCOMES OUTCOMES OUTCOMES A conceptual framework for PPE
Key principles of effective PPE (1) • Be clear about what involvement means • Have a shared understanding of definitions and purpose • Ensure adequate resources - money, time and people • Focus on improvement • Demonstrate change as a result of engagement • Embed systems linking decision-making to impact • Ensure senior commitment and leadership • Support staff and equip them with the necessary skills • Be clear about why you are involving people • Clarify objectives & links to organisational priorities • Explain what can change & what is not negotiable • Use what is already known about people’s perspectives
New Approaches (1) Being clear on purpose: The Engagement Cycle
The Engagement Cycle : engaging with patients and public throughout the commissioning process
New Approaches (2) Building capacity: Patient Leaders
Why we need Patient Leaders • Patients = creative, solution-focused, innovators • Living with ill-health is seedbed of broader leadership • 1000s of patients want to help improve things • NHS turns only to clinical & managerial leaders • No learning opportunities for Patient Leaders
