Volunteering and Person Centre: Engaging with the IPC Programme - National Seminar, 13 May 2015, London

Between December 2014 and February this year, CSV and In Control, with the support of NHS England, facilitated four regional events to explore the particular role of volunteers and volunteering in integrated personal commissioning and person centred care.

The event will also include facilitated workshops, which will provide delegates with the opportunity to explore issues in more detail and to consider the implications for their work.

The Voluntary and Community Sector has a key role to play in supporting users and potential users of Personal Health Budgets and in enabling person centred care.

The Engaging with the IPC programme-national seminar will:

•  review learning and knowledge from the regional seminars;
• launch a top tips guide for local groups interested in volunteering and person centred care and support;
• hear testimony from personal budget holders;
• hear about innovative projects from across England and the contribution of volunteers to them; and
• provide the opportunity to reflect, network and plan local activity.

Keynote speakers will include Jeremy Taylor, CEO, National Voices and Vidhya Alakeson Chief Executive, Power to Change.
