WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MODEL FOR PATIENT & PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT

A Workforce Development Model: Patient & Public Involvement Skills


This document is an aid to developing a fully competent workforce to deliver Public and Patient Involvement (PPI). It has two sections: the first section is for Public and Patient Involvement Leads and those working at a strategic level to ensure that the context is in place to allow staff to deliver PPI. Appendix 4, The KSF Toolkit, is for managers and staff to use as an aid when developing their portfolio for their KSF to prompt them to consider what activity they undertake in relation to PPI and to direct them to development opportunities where they identify gaps in competencies. This document may be used and copied free of charge, but with an acknowledgement of Trent SHA and Trent Multi-Disciplinary Deanery.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MODEL FOR PATIENT & PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT

1.

Introduction

1.1 Public and Patient Involvement [PPI] is the term currently used to reflect the active participation of patients and the public (including children, service users, carers and communities) in the development of health services and as partners in their own care. One of the four main commitments of the White Paper Our Health, Our Care, Our Say is to give people more choice and a louder voice: To ensure patients/users & public views are major drivers of service improvement To ensure convenient access to social & primary care that individuals can choose & influence A White Paper imperative is that the engagement of users & citizens needs to be systematically & robustly built into every aspect of organisations work to ensure user & citizen views inform & influence at all levels & across the whole system. Evidence demonstrates that patient and public involvement leads to increased patient satisfaction and more positive outcomes where patients are more likely to take more responsibility for their own health therefore easing pressure on resources. Evidence also shows that PPI improves professional/patient relationships leading to greater understanding and informed, effective improvement in care provision. Through systematic, consistent, appropriate & effective user & public involvement, organizations will be able to y y y ensure quality outcomes of value to users & communities transform services through continuous learning & improvement based on user feedback ensure services are responsive, accessible & accountable to local populations

The new patient-led NHS system heralds a shift that puts people in control of their care requiring professionals to support and empower people to make their own decisions, and to help individuals, their families and carers to understand the services that are available in order to make good choices. NHS leaders and the workforce need to develop appropriate skills and capacity to listen to, empower and communicate with, patients and the public thereby embedding a culture that creates responsive and accountable organisations delivering personalised services. Locally, the NHS recognises the importance of the need to develop appropriate leadership skills and increase workforce expertise in involving patients and the public in service development and delivery. This model and toolkit form part of a broad

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MODEL FOR PATIENT & PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT

strategic framework triangulating current workforce, the future workforce and the service users, carers and wider public. The intention is that in each organisation there should be a broad strategic framework to embed patient and public involvement across health and social care at every level in service, workforce development and education and training; commissioning, design, delivery and review. Workforce Development Model (Current Workforce)

Principles for Practice: embedding service user and carer involvement in healthcare education and training (Future Workforce) 2. Purpose of the Model

More Power to You: personal training and development for service users, carers and the public

2.1 To provide PPI Leads with a systematic approach to building PPI skills within organisations so that outcomes and experiences for patients, carers and the public are improved. 2.2 The KSF PPI Tool, developed for managers and staff to increase personal and team effectiveness in PPI, accompanies the Model. Aligned with the Knowledge and Skills Frameworks Six Core Dimensions, the Tool assists in identifying gaps in PPI competencies and recommends the most suitable development opportunities to meet personal development needs. 3. Underpinning Principles 3.1 The model has been designed and should be delivered and amended - in line with the principles of the NHS, its requirements to involve Patients and the Public (Section 11, Health and Social Care Act 2001) and PPI beliefs. It has been strongly influenced by an analysis of the Knowledge and Skills Framework in relation to PPI. 3.2 In addition, the following principles and values underpin the model: a) Public and patient involvement leads to improved services, patient experience and outcomes; education and development initiatives should be designed, delivered and evaluated with patients and the public. b) PPI workforce development opportunities should, wherever possible, be integrated into existing education and development programmes (including

TRENT PPI LEADS NETWORK

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MODEL FOR PATIENT & PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT

pre- and post-registration training) and be linked with existing organisational processes e.g. clinical governance, complaints. c) Workforce development initiatives should be evidence-based and have clearly demonstrable outcomes: due to a lack of measurable initiatives, the model is currently based on a best practice approach. In time outcomes will be measured to inform a move towards evidence-based initiatives. d) A robust implementation plan and regular review of the model is essential to ensure its completion and effectiveness as well as its ongoing alignment with legislation, policies, Knowledge and Skills Framework etc. e) Sharing of expertise and appropriate initiatives with other health organisations (and sectors) and with patient, carers and the public, makes good sense and is a good use of resources. This would include exchange of expertise and learning with expert patients, patient champions, carer champions etc. and linked programmes. f) Quality learning leads to quality care. g) Patient experience and engagement should inform future education commissioning, design and delivery 4. Ideal Operating Context for the Model 4.1 For the model to have maximum effect, the appropriate organisational context needs to be in place. 4.2 The organisation will exhibit the Key Characteristics of Good Organisations in relation to PPI
Key Characteristic of Good Organisational Practice in relation to PPI (Source: Trent SHA) a) There will be a named operational and Executive Director lead for PPI together with clear lines of accountability within the organisation b) There will be a PPI Strategy, Implementation Plan and Annual Report c) PPI Activity will be monitored regularly d) The range of approaches for engaging patients and the public will be evident e) Mechanisms will be in place to enable organisational learning and to ensure feedback is given to patents and the public f) PALS will be active and well resourced g) There will be Good Practice Guidelines for PPI, a Public Engagement Group, a User Expenses Policy and ring-fenced resources. h) There will be clear lines of accountability for PPI and strategic fit with organisational structures and committees

4.3 Specifically in relation to increasing PPI capacity within the workforce a) Policies and plans make specific reference to development of PPI capacity within the workforce and the means of measuring its impact b) The education and training strategy (and implementation plan) evidences: i. an effective assessment of the workforces development needs in relation to PPI, including the views of patients and carers

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MODEL FOR PATIENT & PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT

ii. integration of PPI into all programmes iii. learning from real patient experience is embedded into all development initiatives c) There is active encouragement to develop a portfolio of PPI activity d) There is a nominated senior manager and executive responsible for accelerating PPI development within the workforce e) A dedicated budget for PPI education, training and development exists. 4.4 The implementation of the model must be seen as part of a wider cultural change towards PPI, one in which PPI is integrated into a) organisational and directorate objectives and plans b) standards which are set for (and monitored in) clinical and non-clinical teams c) individual performance and appraisal systems d) recruitment processes including job descriptions and selection criteria e) promotion of good practice 4.5 Commissioners will need to consider the most appropriate means of encouraging all provider organisations and professions to implement the model within their various organisations e.g. the links with the Quality Outcome Framework, the use of protected learning time, consultant contracts, Service Level Agreements. This is as relevant for the private sector as they deliver aspects of the NHS. 5. Overview of the Model 5.1 The detailed model has four dimensions and is detailed in Appendix 1.

Access to the database of known training programmes in this category is available on request. 6. Uses for the Model 6.1 The model provides PPI leads with a clear pathway for increasing PPI skills across the range of individual roles and for specific workforce groups. 6.2 It is applicable to all health organisations: commissioning or providing; independent or public sector; primary, secondary or tertiary care. 6.3 The model could be further progressed as a means of: a) Benchmarking the organisations training provision for PPI b) Performancemanaging organisations in development of PPI expertise within their workforce. 6.4 Crucially important is the potential of the model in improving resource management: applied to other new initiatives and innovations in health, it provides a systematic approach to assessing the training needs of the workforce and establishing whether or not these can be met by existing development programmes. 6.5 In addition, the accompanying KSF PPI Tool provides managers and staff alike with a) a ready-reckoner for assessing their (and their Teams) competency in PPI against the demands of the Knowledge and Skills Framework

b) signposting to the appropriate development opportunities to meet skills gaps. 6.6 This can also be used as a tool to support learning and development needs: For staff as part of formal education and continuing professional development, including performance reviews And for service users to identify service user, carer and wider public development needs in order for them to be as skilled as possible in relation to their involvement 6.7 PPI Leads and strategic developers can use the model and the tool to influence and inform the future commissioning and quality of healthcare education and training to ensure that it encompasses PPI elements. 7. Implementation and Review 7.1 A robust implementation plan and regular review of the model is essential to ensure its completion and effectiveness as well as its ongoing alignment with legislation, policies etc. 7.2 Such a plan will need to confirm the hosting arrangement(s), ideally linked with a web-based domain e.g. Trent Information Network [TIN], local Workforce Education and Development Commissioning Subgroups, Teaching PCTs and into the national arena through the PPI Resource Centre to be hosted by the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement
