Tuesday 7th April 2009

12.30 - 14:00pm  

The session looked at how public and third sector organisations can be involved in commissioning decisions in health. David Gilbert, formerly at the NHS Centre for Involvement and now Director of InHealth Associates spoke about his work for the Department of Health and Croydon PCT developing the 'engagement - cycle model' -a new and comprehensive approach to Patient and Public Engagement in NHS commissioning. The engagement - cycle is intended to be useful for commissioning organisations, for example, primary care trusts (PCTs), GPs involved in practice based commissioners and those involved in collaborative commissioning decisions.It is of use to third sector organisations looking to influence commissioning at the local level.

The session had a  practical focus, looking at how to actually get people involve din commissioning and there was plenty of time available for applying the practical framework through interactive segments and for discussions with the speakers. All in all it was a great success.
