Engagement

Engagement is a key element needed to help us improve all aspects of health care, including patient experience and health outcomes – giving people the power to live healthier lives.

Here you will find information about current engagement programmes that are taking place.

Engagement describes the continuing and on-going process of developing relationships and partnerships so that the voice of local people and partners are heard and that our plans are shared at the earliest possible stages.

Examples of this type of engagement would include Patient Participation Groups and our Health Forum where we ask members to get involved in various pieces of work.

It also describes activity that happens early on in an involvement process, including holding extensive discussions with a wide range of people to develop a robust case for change.

This can also be used in a pre-consultation stage before any formal consultation.

We want to involve our patients and our wider population in the decisions that we need to make about the services we commission for the people of Warrington, we are committed to working to the principles of the Local Compact, a partnership approach between the Third Sector and the Statutory sector.

One of the key principles is engaging and communicating effective to enable the Third Sector to have their say and be engaged and consulted in a meaningful way.

Examples of this includes involvement of various Third Sector organisations in the CCGs Health Forum, specific engagement with representatives groups i.e. Older People’s Engagement Group, Trans*Warrington
