NHS Citizen Workshop, London Patient Voice & Involvement - October 17th, 2014

NHS Citizen Darlington - 20th November 2014

Here we looked to work out how NHS Citizen and better public engagment could make local health and social services better and more responsive.

As part of this, we looked to map the local health and social care system, find out about current participation and discover how we could develop the NHS Citizen system live in this area.

NHS Citizen Assembly Stock Take Webcast - 25 March 2015

On the 25th March we held an Assembly Review Stock Take Meeting to learn what progress has been made on the five issues discussed at the pilot NHS Citizens’ Assembly last year.

Specifically the Assembly stock-take has three key aims:

1. To hold the NHS England Board to account and make progress on issues visible to all;

2. To reflect, identify and articulate change that has happened as a result of the Assembly Meeting, understand where change hasn’t happened and what has stopped it; and

3. To re-examine the five issues discussed at the Assembly Meeting through the local lens and explore how they would they deal with the issues.
