AGCSU/H&J/LET/ITT - Lived Experience Patient (LET) Input Panel

Arden & GEM Commissioning Support Unit (AGSCU) is looking to commission a Lived Experience service to be provided to one of its Clients (NHS England Health & Justice Central Team). The NHS England Health and Justice Central Team (The Client) is committed to integrating what patients think and have to say about the care they receive, in the commissioning of healthcare services across several Health & Justice projects, including; o Liaison and Diversion; o Community Sentence Treatment Requirement; o Courts Healthcare; o Reconnect (A service designed to reintegrate someone as they leave prison back into community health system). o The Non-Custodial Programme Board that oversees the projects AGCSU is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced provider to support the continuation of a Lived Experience input service as the existing service is due to cease at the end of November 2019. The length of this contract will be for a period of 18 months, with an aim to then look forwards towards the development of a much wider and larger national Lived Experience contract. In order that the patients voice is taken into consideration when commissioning services in these settings both the Authority and the Client need to collaborate with an external organisation to facilitate and enable such dialogue. The aim being to ensure the patient’s voice is embedded into procurement, responding to consultations and many other pieces of work. It is expected that the Lived Experience Team (LET) panel will require at least 2 members with lived experience of the criminal justice system representing a range of protected characteristics and a cross section of the community at each meeting. The LET should maintain a wider pool of people to draw experience from. Panel members are to be paid for their contribution and support by the provider.
