Stakeholder Engagement
Stakeholder Engagement is a core part of successful commissioning and so threads through a number of the WCC competencies, with the first four competencies being about collaborative working and engaging patients, public and clinicians.
The national WCC guidance defines the main stakeholders as belonging to three broad categories: patients/public; clinicians and partners (e.g. Local Authority, community groups). Other stakeholders include staff, providers (e.g. acute, mental health, voluntary) and opinion formers (e.g. Local press, MPs).
There is an expectation that stakeholders are involved from the planning stage, through to development, assessment and delivery stages. Constant communication in a variety of formats is essential.
NHS Brent is undertaking a number of activities in order to communicate and engage with our stakeholders including:
- Giving Information – Newsletters, Websites
- Getting Information – Questionnaires, Interviews, Focus Groups
- Forums for debate – Meetings, Attending Local Groups
- Participation – Health Select Committee, LINKs
- Partnership – Large Group Events
To find out when some of these are happening please consult the Stakeholder Engagement Plan.
