Care Services Efficiency Delivery - Anticipating Future Needs (August 2007)

Please treat this as a pre-release version

Published by Care Services Efficiency Delivery/IPC, August 2007

The Anticipating Future Needs project developed a simple structured methodology for engaging pre-retirement older age groups and current service users in a way that allows them to express their views about their life situation now and in the future around themes that may be incorporated into Local Area Agreements (LAAs) and local commissioning strategies. An early version of this approach was piloted as a part of the Exemplar Project and the lessons then applied to this more extensive process.
