Can You Host a Workshop to Support Development of Personalised Health Care Plans?

The North West London Collaborative of Clinical Commissioning Groups (NWL CCGs) and Healthy London Partnership (HLP) are seeking to work with local voluntary and charitable organisations to run a series of workshops to learn how personalised care plans could be used to improve public access to personal health budgets.

The workshops, each lasting up to 4hours, are for those with long term conditions (with two or more conditions) and for those with a learning disability and autism. Healthy London Partnership is offering a reimbursement up to £550 per workshop to each organisation taking part. This includes a fee for venue hire and reimbursing travelling expenses to those members of the public attending the workshops.

Workshops will need to be held between 27 February 2017 and 17 March 2017. Expressions of interest need to be made by 12 noon on Friday 24 February 2017.

Brexit

The Government has published its White Paper which sets out the Prime Minister’s plans for exiting the EU. The PM also introduced a Great Repeal Bill to end the supremacy of EU law in the UK. Small charities may have the opportunity to influence how laws which impact them, such as those on VAT, will be formulated.

Through the Small Charity Index, FSI are conducting a Brexit Temperature Check to see how small charities are feeling and dealing with Brexit, which will form part of our research, Brexit: One Year On. If you have any points you’d like to feedback to us on funding and freedom of movement of people, then please email olivia@thefsi.org
