Welcome to the NHS Centre for Involvement

The NHS Centre for Involvement will be closing on 31st August 2009

Please note that the NHS Centre for Involvement (NCI) closed on 31st August 2009 at the completion of its contract with the Department of Health.

Published resources will continue to be available on this website for a limited period after closure. The Involvement Exchange has also closed, but the LINks Exchange will continue to operate as normal.

After closure all enquiries about involvement or LINks-related matters should be directed to Melanie Smith at the Department of Health – email melanie.smith@dh.gsi.gov.uk.

For contact information relating to NCI  administrative, finance or HR matters, please click on the Contact us tab on the left of this page and follow the links from there.

We suggest that you might like to visit some other websites that deal with Patient and Public Involvement such as:

The Board of NCI has consistently worked to develop a range of new approaches to involvement. It therefore welcomes the formation of 'Fontis', a new social enterprise which will launch formally in the autumn.

Fontis seeks to change the relationship between public and public services (and is expecting to work across the whole public sector over time). It will work in collaboration with a membership and a series of targeted networks and has an innovative range of approaches to securing  sustainable involvement.

We would like to suggest you register your interest in the work of Fontis by visiting its web-site or emailing register@fontis.org.uk. Fontis can be contacted from the beginning of September at www.fontis.org.uk.

Who are we?

We support and encourage the NHS and other organisations to involve patients and the public in health and social care decision-making. We act as the core organisation for promoting the involvement agenda and we are committed to embedding Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) into everyday practice within health and social care organisations.

What is our purpose?

Our purpose is to ensure that patients and the public should have the opportunity to be actively involved in shaping the organisation and the delivery of health and social care services for their communities.

What do we do?

We support organisations in integrating involvement, through, for example, our Organisational Development (OD) projects.
We gather evidence to support involvement, through, for example, our Annual Survey on Patient and Public Involvement (PPI).
We publish resources, such as our PPI and LINks Guides, and offer information and guidance through, for example, our helpdesks.
We promote discussion and debate, and the exchange of information through our Annual Conference and our two networking sites - the Involvement Exchange and the LINks exchange.  

How do we do this?

Our work is organised into five directorates. Please click on the links below to visit each directorate’s page:

> Organisational Development
> Learning
> Local Involvement Networks (LINks)
> Evidence for Practice
> Communications
