<p>The <a href="http://www.kingsfund.org.uk/projects/nhs-five-year-forward-view">NHS five year forward view</a> talks about harnessing the 'renewable energy represented by patients and communities' and the need to 'engage with communities and citizens in new ways, involving them directly in decisions about the future of health and care services'. We know that one of the founding principles underpinning the NHS at its best is that it’s ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’.</p>

<p>Now, more than ever, this is becoming true – not because the Forward View says it but because it’s demanded by patients, communities and the overall population the NHS serves. Simon Stevens recognised this changing relationship when he talked about the NHS as a social movement. This can’t be controlled or mandated - it’s happening and it should be embraced and celebrated as a force for good and renewal.</p>
<p>In a binary world, the access to information and knowledge by patients eager to share in the decision-making process regarding their care is restricted to the medical profession. This colludes with the ability for the powerful experts to remain powerful. But in a digital world, <a href="http://www.kingsfund.org.uk/publications/articles/dame-fiona-caldicott">information and knowledge is freely accessible to everyone</a> – which challenges the traditional notion of leadership and power. Everyone becomes a leader and everyone becomes powerful. This is a fundamental challenge to the old paradigm and enables patients to truly embrace the opportunity to become partners and share in the decision-making that affects their care.</p>
<p>This is easier said than done. But the choice is not whether, but when, health care leaders will ride this wave. Failing to do so will see them swamped.</p>
<p>With the aim of supporting new and positive innovations in this space, the team at The King’s Fund has been nurturing this changing patient relationship for the past 12 months by supporting <a href="http://www.kingsfund.org.uk/projects/patient-leadership">a number of projects</a> where patients have worked in 'collaborative pairs' with health professionals. This has given us insight into the power when patients and healthcare professionals collaborate in determining individual care pathways. Today we publish <a href="http://www.kingsfund.org.uk/publications/patients-partners">a new guide</a> to building collaborative relationships with patients based on the lessons from this work.</p>
<p>Developing this way of working on a wider scale requires support and a change of attitude. The power to determine care pathways has to be a shared decision. This requires a fundamental shift in power dynamics, which will require support to unlearn generations of behaviour.</p>
<p>One way of providing this support is seeing patients as partners recognising that the pathways for development of patient and community-based leaders is historically under resourced and undervalued in comparison to the investment in leadership for clinicians and managers. The King's Fund is therefore keen to work specifically with patient leaders to support their practice as leadership partners.</p>
<p>Central to this is a move away from a ‘them and us’ way of relating to a much more collaborative approach, and that this will need a shift from all of us in the way that we think about our leadership roles and the validity of the different perspectives and expertise that we each hold. Collaboration is not about compromise – it brings the best from everyone to find new and potentially exciting innovations.</p>
<p>With a view to tackling this, The King's Fund runs a programme on <a href="http://www.kingsfund.org.uk/leadership/leading-collaboratively-patients-and-communities">leading collaboratively with patients and communities</a>, and is also looking to build up a national network of previous attendees that will put a name to this new relational dynamic and support both patient and health care leaders to move into a different role where leadership is shared.</p>
<p>To reinforce the Fund's commitment to this agenda, we are also announcing the appointment of <a href="http://www.kingsfund.org.uk/about-us/whos-who/mark-doughty">Mark Doughty</a>, co-founder of the Centre for Patient Leadership, as a member of our staff. By appointing Mark, we aim to help address this and to embed a collaborative approach to working with patients across our work.</p>
<p>Working in partnership with patients has and will continue to be a journey for the Fund and we are learning many lessons along the way. We also know that there are many other people and organisations who are doing great work and who have championed this agenda over the years. By making a new commitment to working in this way, we hope to encourage others to do the same. This is why we are calling on every NHS organisation to commit to working with patients as partners and ensure that their perspectives are embedded at the heart of everything the NHS does.</p>

<p>This is a brief literature review from the NHS Scotland 2012. Few years old now, but does highlight some useful key messages summarised below from the <a href="http://www.chss.org.uk/documents/2014/03/supporting-people-self-manage.pdf" target="_blank">Executive Summary</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>No 'one size fits all' - </strong>There is no one education solution to suit all groups of healthcare practitioners or all clinical areas. However there are a number of common areas related to education for healthcare practitioners to support self-management. Education needs to be relevant to the healthcare context.</li>
<li><strong>Person centred approach</strong> – supporting self-management is a person centred approach and by definition, communication skills are central to its implementation...</li>
<li>Specific skills and knowledge – given the multiple theories associated with SMS practitioners would benefit from a comprehensive set of skills rather than focusing exclusively on one model.</li>
<li><strong>Support for learning</strong> – practitioners need continued support to enable change in practice, and to maintain this change because it is easy to revert to business as usual. This requires a focus on integrated behaviour change rather than the simple acquisition of skills.</li>
<li><strong>Organisation processes and systems</strong> – practitioners need to be able to influence organisation processes and procedures, as these are some of the things that can act as either enablers or challenges to integrated self-management support. Learning therefore needs to be part of a wider process of change rather than stand alone.</li>
<li><strong>Dominant ways of thinking and doing</strong> – it is vital that education addresses the attitudes, beliefs and values of healthcare practitioners in relation to self-management. These can have a significant impact on i) how the SMS they provide is experienced by people, ii) their own engagement with education related to SMS and iii) their capacity to change practice.</li>
</ul>
<p>Self-management can be seen as being about instilling a new way of practising which may be at odds with practitioners preferred approach and that which they feel comfortable with. The wide definitions and beliefs about what constitutes self-management mean that <strong>practitioners can believe ‘we already do that’</strong> or it <strong>can be possible for a practitioner to believe that their practices are fully supporting and enabling self-management without this being fully reflected in their behaviours and actions.</strong> Barriers to change can be associated with lack of time and pressure to conform to traditional bio-medical aspects of the consultation..."</p>
