Individual Service Funds Alumni workshop 5th April 2022

Our next Alumni workshop on Individual Service Funds (ISF’s) will be led by our in-house expert Chris Watson.

Chris is passionate about self-directed support and has led on the implementation of ISF’s – and the NHS equivalent, Third Party Personal Health budgets – with LA’s and CCG’s across England. Chris believes ISF’s create opportunities for innovation and flexible forms of commissioned support that can deliver better outcomes for people, and better value for commissioners.

Supported by early adopter insights, this workshop will explore the concept of ISFs, how they are being deployed in various contexts and key lessons learned from this approach to date.

We send invites to Commissioning course Alumni for these free and exclusive events, so please check your email and further details will be posted on our website.

If you have any questions email us at: ipcevents@brookes.ac.uk
