People and Communities Board, February 2017
- Chapter 2 of the NHS Five Year Forward View (FYFV) sets out the vision of a health and care system which fully engages people in their health, care and wellbeing, including by working in partnership with communities and the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector.
- This report seeks to support the delivery of FYFV Chapter 2, through six high impact actions and related recommendations, supported by evidence and illustrated by examples. The actions address key pinch points in the NHS, where substantial progress can be made in the next 12 months, and where the actions can build energy around the broader agenda of changing the culture of healthcare.
- The annex - 'Voluntary sector proposals' - highlights approaches or interventions developed in the VCSE sector, which have been tested and evaluated and which have the potential for wider adoption. Case studies are
- Arthritis Research UK: ESCAPE- Pain
- The Stroke Association: My Stroke Guide
- Diabetes UK: Living with Diabetes Day events
- Alzheimer’s Society: Side by Side programme
- Macmillan Cancer Support: Electronic Holistic Needs Assessment
- Age UK: Integrated Care Programme
- NCB: Expert Parent Programme
- Youth Access: Youth Advice and Counselling Service
