The Patient Leadership Triangle: A practical engagement model for transforming healthcare

Summary

Can patient and public engagement truly incorporate patient and carers in healthcare decision-making?

This eBook, by David Gilbert, provides an account of the work done within the Sussex Musculoskeletal (MSK) Partnership (Central) to embed a different approach to patient and public engagement or co-production – one that supports people with MSK conditions to be true partners in decision-making at all levels: delivery, improvement, governance and leadership.

Introducing a practical engagement model, David Gilbert moves beyond the tick-the-box, patient feedback and representational approaches of traditional engagement methods that provide a narrow focus on user experience and, ultimately, distance patients and carers from decision-making.

This accessible eBook underscores equal involvement of patients and carers as an integral, respected part of decision-making – an inclusion that not only leads to better awareness but humanises healthcare for patients, staff and health professionals.
