POW-FTS-59118 - Consultation Assurance

Description

Powys Teaching Health Board is looking to procure specialist support for engagement and consultation quality assurance for Better Together. The health board is keen to engage with an organisation with proven experience of advising on quality assurance for engagement and consultation around transforming health services in Wales. Discussions including engagement and/or consultation regarding the future shape of health services can publicly and politically sensitive, and we are therefore seeking to engage specialist support to advise on quality assurance for the consultation process, with a specific focus on the key consultation risk areas. We currently anticipate a rolling programme of service reviews over the coming years. Reviews will be launched periodically (e.g. every 6-9 months) each focusing on a specific service area (e.g. community model with mental health, diagnostics & planned care, women & children’s). The reviews will provide an opportunity to work with PTHB staff, primary care, patients and the public, and partner organisations to understand the opportunities & challenges for each service area, and to shape the future of safe, quality services for Powys.
