Changes to regional groups

Following a review and discussions with members of the SPPC's three Regional Constituency Groups, significant changes are being made to the operation of these groups.

The changes are being made with the aim of ensuring that the Partnership continues to effectively engage and exchange information, but in a way which is less time and resource intensive, and which reflects the emergence of local Managed Clinical Network (MCN) or equivalent structures in recent years.

The changes will include:

• the creation of a dedicated web space to support virtual regional groups.
• liaising with relevant local NHS palliative care groups regarding how to receive and cascade information through their existing mailing lists, and to establish a timetable for periodic attendance at local meetings by SPPC staff.

Approval for appropriate amendments to be made to the SPPC’s articles of association will be sought at the next AGM meeting in August, after which terms of reference for regional groups can be amended at the subsequent Council meeting.

Effective engagement and exchange of information and opinion remains central to the SPPC’s purpose and effectiveness, and the new arrangements are designed to support these processes.
