Personalisation

The 'People Matter' strategy developed by the JIP contains key objectives aimed at supporting people to live their own lives and choose services which are high quality, safe and promote independence, wellbeing and dignity. The central planks of the 'People Matter' strategy are personalisation, commissioning, improving performance and efficiency.

Below, we introduce the full range of our personalisation projects which taken together provide a framework for supporting implementation and will drive forward commissioning and personalisation across the region.
