Social enterprise:  Making a Difference

A guide to the 'right to request'

The Coalition has been working with the Department of Health Social Enterprise Unit to develop guidance to support  NHS staff who are thinking of taking up the ‘right to request’ and setting up a social enterprise to deliver healthcare services to NHS patients.  The guide attempts to answer some the questions NHS staff may have about setting up a social enterprise, setting out some of the benefits, but also the risks and challenges. It also provides information on the process involved.

The full guidance can be found here

The summary leaflet can be found here

The Coalition is hosting three workshops to support NHS staff thinking about taking up the "right to request". To register click here.
