| Annotation | The National Service Framework for Older People (NSF) set out the organisational responsibilities for its implementation. It included the idea of NHS bodies and local local authorities having older people's champions to raise the profile of older people's services. This report reveals the many varied perspectives and experiences of 209 such individuals: 71 clinical NHS champions (mainly nurses); 64 NHS Trust non-executive director champions; 7 NHS Trust patient forum champions; 5 NHS Trust manager champions; 38 local authority elected member (councillor) champions; 16 local authority manager/officer champions; and 8 champions from the private or voluntary sectors. The aim was to find information about their role, skills and experiences, networks and support. BGOP wanted to find out whether champions considered their roles effective, and whether they made a difference. A summary of the survey findings is also available. (RH). |
