Patients as partners – King’s Fund report

This report calls for all NHS organisations to commit to working more closely with patients to meet the requirements of a new relationship with patients and communities outlined in the NHS five year forward view. It looks at what can be achieved by NHS professionals working with patients and looks in detail at case studies drawn from the Fund’s ground-breaking national collaborative pairs (which included Healthwatch Hampshire) programme, which supported patients and health professionals to work together on a wide range of local initiatives.
