Stakeholder Engagement

What is Stakeholder Engagement?

Stakeholder engagement is an integral component of all our work as it is important that organisation's feel ownership of their programmes’ process and outputs; we have a wealth of experience we can offer you.

Our communications and engagement experts at the TU developed a comprehensive programme of public and stakeholder communications and involvement for a major hospitals service review. This followed the NHSE guidance on planning, assuring, and delivering service change for patients. It included strong clinical engagement, open and honest dialogue with the public and required complex stakeholder management overall. The Pre-Consultation Business Case we developed received external recognition for its quality, attention to detail, and comprehensiveness from stakeholders.

We can also work in partnership with you or other agencies to codesign and deliver stakeholder engagement activities. A great example is our work with Kaleidoscope and the national engagement activity we completed together to inform the NHSX Digital PODAC strategy (2021 – 2026) across the five sectors (community Pharmacy services, Optometry Dental, Ambulance and Community).
