Hello SIG members 🙂
What do you think about renaming this SIG to Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE)? Does it feel more fitting (and inclusive?) for how the third sector is referenced and represented in healthcare?
As you’ll know Pete stepped down as convener last year and this SIG doesn’t currently have an official convener but…Read more

What do members of this SIG want this space to offer?
I wondered whether people may be interested in an online chat via this update page on the 29th of November where we share our hopes and aspirations for the SIG by sharing posts? The idea being during the day of the 29th of November we put our ideas as updates and perhaps respond to those…Read more

Sorry Hilda I completely missed this post! :/ it’s a great idea but my sense is that there is not enough (active) members in this SIG to make it successful. And potentially not enough interest to keep this SIG going. Will have a chat about this with Matthew today and get back to you properly.

Hi Hilda and Maria,
Sorry for slow response but I have been really stretched recently. Even with backfill I am not sure I would have capacity to convene but I do think promoting and supporting the role of VCSE as a partner in the improvement space is important. I am not sure that requires a specific SIG or if it is more about Q as a whole…Read more

Hi All
I have moved this piece here in case its not seen, its a response to Maria’s comment below…….
Hi Maria
Thanks for that. I am reflecting if no one else wants to convene this SIG/apply to the supporting Q connections fund to help backfill time to convene, then it may be something which I could offer to do, however, I am not sure if…Read more

Hello all
I am aware Pete has had to step down as convenor of this SIG due to other commitments. I am not sure if anyone else has decided they want to step into this role?
Remember there is supporting Q connections funding which can help backfill time to invest in this. For more information …Read more

Thanks for bringing this up Hilda. I haven’t heard from anyone who’d like to step up as a convener. I like your suggestions and I am also brainstorming and exploring potential ways to keep this ‘third sector’ topic/conversation alive in the Q community. I’ll be in touch 🙂

Hi Maria
Thanks for that. I am reflecting if no one else wants to convene this SIG/apply to the supporting Q connections fund to help backfill time to convene, then it may be something which I could offer to do, however, I am not sure if the ideas I have for taking this forward would fit with the members of the 3rd sector SIG so am quite happy to…Read more

About this group
This group is to bring together Q members from the third sector to share ideas and experience in how we can better work with health and care bodies to enable us to get better outcomes for the people we support.
Group members can get access to a safe space to ask questions on issues that they are facing in working with the NHS and have discussions about ideas for improvement.
We will open up conversations through open discussions, workshops and Q&A sessions.
This group was initiated by Pete Donnelly and is currently looking for new conveners. Get in touch with Q Community Convener Maria Dorthea Skov if you’re interested or have ideas for activities or events.
This group is convened by Maria Dorthea Skov
