Following on from the launch of the ‘‘Social Enterprise - Making a Difference: a guide to the right to request", the Social Enterprise Coalition organised a series of workshops, on behalf of the Department of Health, to help people find out more.

The ‘right to request' is a commitment in the Next Stage Review of the NHS, published in June 2008. It enables NHS staff, specifically nurses and allied health professionals, who may be interested in establishing a social enterprise to put their proposals to their PCT board, and if approved, have their proposal supported.

The workshops were for PCT staff who are interested in the ‘right to request' to find out more. The workshops were an opportunity for participants to:

• find out more about social enterprise;
• find out more about writing a business case;
• ask practical questions about issues such as legal models and HR; and
• make informed choices about the right to request.

Due to the high-level of interest in the workshops, we may be repeating them later in the year. If you would like to be kept informed of any future arrangements, please fill in the form.
