About Us
The Partnership Development Team is a neutral and independent specialist resource for service user, carer and voluntary sector involvement in local health and social care service planning.
The team has been in existence since April 1998 when the Nottinghamshire branch of the British Red Cross won the contract to provide and manage the service.
We have produced a leaflet about our services which you can download here.
We have recently introduced an Impact Tracker to highlight issues and actions that are brought to our attention. This is a document which is updated regularly, however we produce a quarterly snapshot of what is happening which will be available to download.
Download the April - June 2010 report here.
You can also download our involvement pathway diagram which we have developed to demonstrate our role in service user involvement in Greater Nottingham here.
The team comprises:
- Karen Archer - Partnership Development Team Manager
- Jen Baughan - Partnership Development Officer
- Tony Nottingham - Partnership Development Officer
