Description

What are Personal Health Budgets, how do they work and how will they affect you? Personal Health Budgets or PHBs are the next major step towards personalising healthcare. They’ve been designed to allow people more choice and control over the money spent on meeting their healthcare and wellbeing needs. With the introduction of Personal Health Budgets in 2014 billions of pounds of NHS funding will be devolved to patients to purchase their own health services. This has the potential to revolutionise the provision, funding and delivery of health and social care in England. Whether you are a patient, health care professional or service provider PHBs could have a major impact on what you do and how you do it. This collection looks at the roll out of PHBs from the perspective of the people who commission care services, those who provide it and, most importantly, those on the receiving end – the patients.
