Evaluation Framework:
The National Involvement Partnership (NIP) project ‘Involvement for Influence
- Influencing for Improvement’ aims to develop national standards for the
involvement of service users and carers and establish an infrastructure for
involvement.
The idea is to ‘hard wire’ the service user and carer direct voice and
experience into health and care services. The project will develop the
previously evaluated NIP work, share good practice, centralise resources,
strengthen existing networks and build an infrastructure that connects and
coordinates involvement.
