Third Sector Engagement
NHS Connecting for Health is committed to developing relationships and establishing partnerships within the third sector, which includes voluntary and community groups, social enterprises, charities, co-operatives and mutuals.
The Voluntary Sector National Advisory Group (VSNAG) is a way for NHS CFH to engage with a cross representation of organisations in the third sector.
Another way of developing relationships is by inviting third sector organisations to act as representatives in advisory groups, boards and panels, such as:
- HealthSpace Reference Panel
- Summary Care Records Advisory Group
- Choose & Book
- EPS Reference Panel
