Public panel stakeholder workshop (July 2018)
On Tuesday 10 July a small working group of representatives from local public, patient groups met to co-produce a mechanism for providing assurance that there is authentic patient and public involvement in our Partnership work. Over 15 people attended from various organisational roles, including Trust governors, clinical commissioning groups and chairs from MESMAC and Trans Mission. Attendees discussed the findings from the first meeting in April when over 40 people attended.
They discussed the role they and others could play in ensuring the wider Partnership work keeps the public at the very heart of decision-making. Being open and transparent is very important as is assuring meaningful public engagement. The group also discussed the next steps, which includes a core assurance group to ensure continuity. Keeping the views of young people is essential and Jill Dufton (Partnership Engagement Manager) updated the group on the work we are doing with youth forums.
Everyone agreed that this was the start of an exciting opportunity to shape effective public, patient involvement assurance for the Partnership. A priority would be to establish clear principles of working and assurance standards, learning from existing good practice in our six local places (Bradford District and Craven, Calderdale, Harrogate, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield).
