Shared Learning
When PCTs join the programme, they agree to share learning with each other. This ‘learning set’ approach provides access to shared experience and know-how and has a direct impact on improving the decisions being made about the futures of PCT provider arms.
We established information sharing as an underlying principle of the programme. LP and the PCTs we are supporting, recognise that their provider arms are facing many similar issues and that the ability to develop common approaches to common problems, enables them to share knowledge and learning and to economise on the costs of developing solutions.
This means that PCTs in the LP programme have access to road-tested programme tools and resources, materials generated by other PCTs in the programme and access to benchmarking data, analysis and market intelligence reports.
We also run seminars and workshops for PCTs on a range of topics. These are designed to encourage knowledge sharing and include our Peer Review Workshops focusing on the major services in community health and our Corporate Governance seminars.
