‘Involving You’ Framework

In May 2007, the Trust made a commitment to develop a Framework for Community Development and User Engagement and began a process of engagement with over 40 community, voluntary, and patient organisations, as well as a number of partnership organisations.  Following a period of consultation the “Involving You” framework was launched on 20th May 2008. The Framework outlines the Trusts approach involving patients, clients, service users, carers and the public in the planning, design and delivery of its services and health improvement programmes.
