Do you have ‘lived experience’ of a personalised approach to health care and want to be more involved in the development and delivery of health care programmes? Then the next Peer Leadership Academy and the Strategic Co-production Group could be for you.
The NHS England Personalised Care Group is inviting applications from people with lived experience of personalised approaches to health and social care to participate in the Autumn Peer Leadership Academy 2018.
Peer Leaders play a vital role in helping to deliver and shape key NHS personalisation health care programmes, including personal health budgets and Integrated Personal Commissioning , by providing an essential ‘lived experience’ perspective.
The Peer Leadership Academy is a personal development programme to help peer leaders build their knowledge, skills and confidence so they can play an active role in the development and delivery of programmes on a regional and national level.
‘Graduates’ of the Academy then become part of the important on-going Peer Network which helps to shape these programmes and drive-up demand and awareness for these services.
The next Peer Leadership Academy starts in the Autumn and the deadline for new applications is 5pm Tuesday 28 August 2018.
This highly successful personal development programme has run for the last four years and aims to build people’s knowledge, skills and confidence to play an active role in the Personalised Care Programme at a national and local level.
It is being delivered in collaboration with Peoplehub over three 2 x day residential sessions at Burleigh Court Loughborough in September, October and November 2018. Accommodation and travel is provided.
NHS England is particularly keen to hear from people with ‘lived experience’ of personalised approaches to health and social care living in Sheffield and other geographical areas in England.
