Personalisation Resources
NAVCA- Personalisation Health Check
NAVCA has developed a diagnostic tool which focuses on personalisation in social care, but could be adapted for health services, or other services where personalised approaches are being developed. The tool aims to help development workers to:
* assess an organisations' readiness for personalisation
* help them identify areas of strength and weakness, new opportunities and development needs in relation to the personalisation agenda
* help produce a practical action plan to enable organisations to gear up for personalisation.
