Involving People and Communities Strategy

We want people and communities to help shape the work we do. That includes helping us create our involvement strategy.

In 2022, we asked people for their thoughts about involvement. We created our first ICB involvement strategy informed by what we heard.

In 2023, we wanted to update the strategy, We worked with Healthwatch to ask people for their thoughts. We wrote a draft strategy and asked people what they thought. We wanted to know if we got it right. We included this feedback in our Involving People and Communities strategy 2024-28. We:

• made the strategy shorter
• made it easier to read
• replaced the original principals with:
  • involving people meaningfully
  • removing barriers
  • listening to feedback
• developed a work plan. The workplan included more detail on how we will achieve our priorities. It also included detail on how we will measure success.
