Abstract: |
This article explores the challenges of a social services manager taking on the development of a new, over-arching, user involvement strategy within an integrated mental health service in London, England. It highlights the introduction of a framework for user involvement which has proved to be able to adapt to successive policy initiatives including the Health and Social Care Act, Changing the Balance of Care, Patient and Public Involvement, and most recently Personalisation. The article discusses some of the challenges, but also the real benefits of meaningful service user involvement. It also suggests that managers with a social care background are uniquely positioned to take on such a development. Suggestions and ideas for others in a similar position are discussed. |
