People and Communities Online Learning Programme
Welcome to the People and Communities team’s online learning programme. These sessions are about working in partnership with people and communities and mix of webinars and workshops, hosted by People an Communities team. The sessions are aimed at colleagues working in or with NHS organisations in engagement activity with people and communities. Others working in the public and voluntary sectors may also find our online learning beneficial and are welcome to attend.
Some sessions are aimed at people who are newer to working with people and communities, helping them to build their knowledge and their toolkit of resources and ideas. Some sessions are aimed at more experienced engagement practitioners, helping them further explore good practice and innovative approaches.
Sessions focus on:
- Understanding how to build partnerships with people and communities
- Reducing health inequalities through better understanding of the barriers faced by under-represented communities, and how to overcome these
- Sharing inspiring ideas that can be put into practice, and tools and resources to support this
- Meeting the legal duties to involve the public in the work of the NHS

Webinar to share the learning from two NHS England funded ICB projects | West Yorkshire ICB - Project around improving involvement toolkits to better engage with underserved communities The recent Patient Experience Library report found that there have been a large number of involvement toolkits produced in recent years, but with very few focusing on underserved communities i.e. those encompassed by the Core20PLUS5. This project aimed to use the limited toolkits already produced for underserved groups, and use them to reach out to communities, quality assure and improve them; then share those resources with all partners within each of the participating ICBs, to support involvement, and in turn health inequalities work. South Yorkshire Insights Bank – Co-designing a system-wide approach to insight capture In the South Yorkshire ICB colleagues from involvement and data disciplines have come together and are working with system partners to co-design an insight bank for the whole of South Yorkshire. We’re not fully there yet, but we’re proud of the process so far and optimistic about the opportunities it will create to put qualitative insights on the same footing as quantitative data for the system in South Yorkshire. | Monday 18 November 2024 | 12:00 – 13:00 | |
