NCI in Action

Reconcile these:

“Make community involvement more convenient
...LINks should provide more ways for more people to be heard and they will work hard to engage with people who may be easier to ignore.” (LINks Guide no 4, NHS National Centre for Improvement)

“The experience of disabled people, people with learning difficulties and people with mental health conditions is a significant resource, so make it clear their experience and knowledge is valued. Think through the implications of your promotional programme so that any venues can meet all access requirements.” (LINks Guide no 8, NHS National Centre for Involvement)

Remembering that the people NCI is talking about mainly live on welfare benefits -------

With this:

The Americans prefer the term 'consumers', but whatever, we should avoid the term with the negative connotations. I was listening to the 5 Live debate this morning on the Strictly Come Dancing row about whether
