Enventure Research has recently designed and delivered three successful deliberative full-day workshop events on behalf of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council and the Tower Hamlets Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). Two workshops focused on understanding residents’ service spending priorities, potential ways to make savings and perceptions of increased local involvement. The third, conducted on behalf of the Tower Hamlets CCG, focused more specifically on health priorities and health service commissioning.
The events were well-attended by a cross-section of participants illustrative of the demographics of the borough, with a good mixture of age, gender, ethnicity and working status. In addition, the third health-focused workshop was attended by a combination of patients and carers. Enventure Research’s skilled workshop facilitators used a range of deliberative techniques including small group working, plenary sessions, presentations, interactive voting and prioritisation tasks to ensure that all participants could effectively express their views.
Enventure Research will provide comprehensive tailored reports for Tower Hamlets Council and Tower Hamlets CCG. The findings from the research will feed into the development of the Tower Hamlets 2015-19 Community Plan and inform the commissioning process for community health services in Tower Hamlets.
