PRUComm January 2019
- The aim of our overarching research is to investigate the effects of the Vanguard programme on the NHS, including its local organisations, wider partnerships and service users. There are three over-arching objectives:
- Determine the extent to which the Vanguard programme has resulted in the implementation of new models of service delivery in England;
- Identify factors that support or inhibit that implementation at the local (micro), meso (local health economy) and macro (national-level support and evaluation programmes, national regulatory context) levels;
- Ascertain the impact of the programme on relevant outcomes, including economic assessment of costs and cost-effectiveness.
