• Voluntary groups make an important contribution to improving and protecting the health of the population – from targeted work with vulnerable people to self-management and direct interventions. Public Health skills and capacity, joined with the voluntary sector’s connections and “can do” mindset could produce a major improvement in the health of Hertfordshire and also help integrate care for people across all sectors.
• The workshops will be an excellent opportunity for the voluntary sector to contribute to policy development, build relationships, and discuss new commissioning arrangements.
• Each workshop will consider four questions:– What is the scope of public health, and what contribution can
the voluntary sector make to service delivery, policy development, campaigning and tackling health inequalities?
– How can the voluntary sector help improve resilience, self-management and secondary prevention, and so help reduce unnecessary hospital admissions?
– How can the voluntary sector be better commissioned to deliver public health interventions? How can relationships between the voluntary sector and commissioners (DH, local public health commissioners, GPs, and others) be improved?
– What scope is there to apply commissioning innovations such as payment by results or a Total Place approach to public health commissioning?
