Partnership boards

Partnership Boards help improve health and social care practice and commissioning in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

There are five Partnership Boards.

• Older People’s Partnership Board

• Carers Partnership Board

• Learning Disability Partnership Board

• Physical Disability Partnership Board

• Sensory Impairment Partnership Board

These boards are coordinated and supported by Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough on behalf of both councils.

For further information about the Partnership Boards, please visit the Healthwatch Peterborough website.

Adult social care forum

We also have the Adult Social Care Forum. The Forum discusses issues in relation to health and social care services in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

It identifies and considers key themes from:

• the Partnership Boards
• experts by experience groups
• other participation groups/forums

The forum supports improvement of local services. It ensures the highest quality and best value services for people locally, taking action as needed. The Forum meets on a quarterly basis.

It can influence, make recommendations, and/or escalate matters to the council’s Adults and Safeguarding and Adult Social Care Commissioning management teams, and the NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Commissioning Directorate.

The Adult Social Care Forum is made up of representatives from:

• the five Adult Social Care Partnership Boards

• SUN Network (lived experience support for people with mental health problems or drug and alcohol addictions) 

• Counting Every Adult co-production group

• Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

• Council staff

• Health staff
