Citizenship in Health: Theory to Practice. This In Control
Discussion Paper is a summary of In Control's learning from the
first 18 months of our work with Health members.
The Report highlights the purpose of Self-Direction as follows:
'The purpose of our work on Self-Direction in Health is to
enable citizenship and to support people to have the best possible
quality of life. Citizenship and health are symbiotic. A society
that excludes people from citizenship guarantees poor health.
Meanwhile, good health depends on much more than just access to
even the very best health care. It depends on active citizenship -
a home, a job or opportunity to contribute, an income and
friendships'.
The Paper takes a unique approach to developing self-direction
through focusing on five key issues, seen as central to the
process. It provides clear reasons for why increasing
personalisation in Health is important, and a developmental
structure for organisations wanting to take forward Self-Direction
in Health. The structure is laid out in the Planning Book
document which is included as part of this paper. You
can download both papers below.
