W3C-validated transitional XHTML Section 3.1 Involving people: Introduction
This section is about the
crucial area of involving people – patients and carers
alongside staff – in
the whole process of developing information prescriptions. 
In it, we start with a page of 'hot tips' about involving people, and then look at:
- partnerships with other local organisations
- involving users and carers
- things to think about when adopting different methods of involving people
- some practical tools, including advice on running focus groups and workshops and doing interviews and surveys.
Then we take a look at how to make your information prescriptions accessible to everyone, and provide a quick 'accessibility checklist' and a page of resources that will help you think through some of the ethical implications of IP.
'I have been very interested to read all the booklets; the information is just what my husband and I wanted, and many of the questions that we needed to be answered have been dealt with in detail. I found the booklet about deafness and the one about loneliness very helpful. '
