House of Lords: November 24
In the Health and Social Care Bill, the Government proposes a shift in power that puts patients and their carers in charge of making decisions about their health and wellbeing, gives them more information, choice and control over how their care is delivered and strengthens the voice of the public in health and social care.
The seminar is part of the TEAM project – Together Everyone Achieves More: Practical Partnership for Quality Care – and will consider the various opportunities for individuals and third-sector organisations to become more involved and empowered in health and social care.
We will hear about the policies which are in place, the principles of shared decision-making, various opportunities to engage in NICE processes and initiatives to encourage greater public involvement in NHS, public health and social care research. The meeting will also enable a range of third sector organisations to share their activities and successes in achieving greater engagement and empowerment.
