In the spring 2022, the Clinical Commissioning Group recruited 22 volunteers from a variety of backgrounds to work with the CCG and ensure that the voices of diverse populations and communities were heard. These volunteers are known as Involvement Champions.
Since their recruitment our involvement champions have been instrumental in several key programmes of work, such as, the transfer to the Integrated Care Board and the consultation for four hospital services.
There are still opportunities for people to become Involvement Champion for Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB).
Involvement Champions are volunteers who, with training and support, help to champion the involvement needs of communities; to ensure their collective voices are heard by the ICB, including voices from seldom heard and marginalised groups. The Involvement Champions can empower and motivate people to get involved in health‑promoting activities, signpost people to relevant services and create groups to meet local needs.
Individuals will act as a point of contact between NHS Lincolnshire ICB and their community or network. They will present the viewpoints and feedback about health services from their communities to the ICB so that we can hear and act on the patient voice from the community we serve.
What will we do with the information you share from your community?
The ICB will:
We are looking to recruit more Involvement Champions from a variety of backgrounds to help us hear the voices of our diverse population.
