Market facilitation workshop for providers: March 12, 2014

Directors and senior managers of provider organisations delivering health, social care and well0being services in Wales are being urged to attend a Social Services Improvement Agency (SSIA) and Welsh Government workshop on market facilitation on March 12.

  • The aim of the workshop is to provide an overview of national context and explain what market facilitation is.
  • It will also provide an opportunity for providers to consider what they would find helpful to see in a MPS (market position statement) and how they might contribute to their development.

What will the workshop cover?

 This one day workshop will cover the following:

  • Introductions and overview from SSIA and/or Welsh Government
  • The national policy context and an outline of local and national market issues
  • Market facilitation approaches and activities
  • What is a Market Position Statement
  • Example models of good practice in market engagement and market facilitation
  • Exercise: what data do you need to drive your business planning / service planning?
  • Exercise: what sort of anonymous data would you be willing to share?

New SSIA guidance, in the form of a MPS Toolkit, will be shared at the event.

Where and when?

Date of workshop: Wednesday 12 March, 10am-4pm (Refreshments available from 9.30am; lunch will be provided)

Venue: Royal Welsh Showground, the International Pavilion, Llanelwedd, Powys LD2 3SY.
