Title: Getting Involved - Learning Note 6; Finding funds to support PFPI work
Date: 11/03/2009
Summary:
Getting Involved is a learning programme for staff in the Allied Health
Professions in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The focus is on Patient
Focus and Public Involvement – all the ways in which staff can encourage the people they deliver services to and the public to become ore involved in their own care or in influencing health services.
In February 2009, there was a Learning Event at which staff identified
information and support which would help them introduce or develop ways for the people who use their services or people from the local community to become more involved. One of the difficulties that many people raised was getting access to – usually quite small – sums of money to cover costs such as participant expenses and refreshments.
This Learning Note describes some of the sources of funding that would suit this sort of activity. Much of the information is about charitable trusts as a potential route, as this source is less familiar to many NHS staff. The good practice for this setting would also apply to other potential sources of support, however.
Later in 2009 there will be a Learning Note and a Learning Event on working with voluntary organisations as part of the Getting Involved programme.
There is a Learning Note with more information about possible PFPI projects.
