|
|
Someone asked me what / who a stakeholder is at this weekends OSCE Secrets Course. This was in the context of designing an audit project where it is recommended "stakeholders" are consulted.
This is what NICE say:
| stakeholders are wrote: |
National patient and carer organisations that directly or indirectly represent the interests of people whose care is covered by the guideline (‘patient and carer stakeholders')
National organisations that represent the healthcare professionals who provide the services described in the guideline (‘professional stakeholders')
Companies that manufacture the medicines or devices used in the clinical area covered by the guideline and whose interests may be significantly affected by the guideline (‘commercial stakeholders')
Providers and commissioners of health services in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
Statutory organisations including the Department of Health, the Welsh Assembly Government, NHS Quality Improvement Scotland, the Healthcare Commission and the National Patient Safety Agency
Research organisations that have done nationally recognised research in the area. |
So, in summary, lots of people!!!
Take home message, anyone involved in the development or provision of a service including patients, organisations, industry, and those who commision services so GPs, hospitals, PCTs etc.
