This document discusses transforming the relationship between patients and the NHS to be more person-centered. It outlines that policies have increasingly focused on personalized care, evidence shows approaches like shared decision making and self-management support can improve outcomes. However, reality still lags rhetoric, with limited patient involvement and coordination of care. Fully engaging patients in their care can improve health, experiences, and outcomes, but cultural and organizational challenges remain. The document calls for prioritizing patient partnerships, reframing engagement as core to the NHS mission, and investing in skills and tools to realize more person-centered health systems.

Transforming the relationship with patients and communities (are we getting there?)
1. “Transforming the relationship
with patients and communities”
(Are we getting there?)
Jeremy Taylor, CEO, National Voices
At Challenge 2020
6 July 2016
2. • Coalition of 160+ charities
• Founded 2008
• Championing person centred care, a strong
patient and citizen voice, and services built
around people
• Standing up for voluntary organisations and
their vital work for people’s health and care
3. “The NHS will shape its services around the needs and
preferences of individual patients, their families and their
carers.
The NHS of the 21st century must be responsive to the
needs of different groups and individuals within society,
and challenge discrimination on the grounds of age,
gender, ethnicity, religion, disability and sexuality. The NHS
will treat patients as individuals, with respect for their
dignity.
Patients and citizens will have a greater say in the NHS,
and the provision of services will be centred on patients’
needs”
4. “The patient will be at the heart of everything the NHS
does. It should support individuals to promote and manage
their own health.
NHS services must reflect, and should be coordinated
around and tailored to, the needs and preferences of
patients, their families and their carers….
Patients, with their families and carers, where appropriate,
will be involved in and consulted on all decisions about
their care and treatment.
The NHS will actively encourage feedback from the public,
patients and staff, welcome it and use it to improve its
services.”
5. “Even people with long term conditions, who tend to be heavy
users of the health service, are likely to spend less than 1%
of their time in contact with health professionals. The rest of
the time they, their carers and their families manage on their
own.
As the patients’ organisation National Voices puts it:
personalised care will only happen when statutory services
recognise that patients’ own life goals are what count; that
services need to support families, carers and communities;
that promoting wellbeing and independence need to be the
key outcomes of care; and that patients, their families and
carers are often ‘experts by experience’.”
6. “One of the great strengths of this country is that we have an
NHS that - at its best - is ‘of the people, by the people and for
the people’.
Yet sometimes the health service has been prone to
operating a ‘factory’ model of care and repair, with limited
engagement with the wider community, a short-sighted
approach to partnerships, and underdeveloped advocacy and
action on the broader influencers of health and wellbeing.
As a result we have not fully harnessed the renewable
energy represented by patients and communities, or the
potential positive health impacts of employers and national
and local governments.”

14. Transforming the relationship: what
gets in the way?
• Nice to have/we’re too busy/we haven’t got the money – a
question of priorities
• I can’t deal with this right now- a question of bandwidth
• Good idea but not my job - endless organisational change,
silos, fragmentation
• a top down culture (still)
• a culture of interventionism
• lack of clarity of meaning “voice, choice, personalisation,
engagement, participation, involvement co-production etc
etc”
• lack of clarity of purpose, leading to tokenism, death by
process, “engagement industry”
15. Transforming the relationship: what
will it take?
• Prioritising it
• Reframing it as core business
• Knowledge, skills, confidence, motivation – at
every level
• Alignment of levers, incentives, nudges
• Investment
• Agitation
• Celebration
