Key Drivers 2010 - 2013

• Prepare a plan to ensure that JLA principles are mainstreamed by March 2013
• Continue to manage a suite of Priority Setting Partnerships to develop experience, knowledge base and evidence
• Publish the JLA Guidebook and update on a regular basis as evidence and experience grows.
• Use the guidebook to facilitate a less JLA personnel-intensive approach to supporting PSPs
• Work directly with MRC to understand how it currently promotes patient engagement in funding decisions - and then work with them to produce a plan for advancement
• Clarify, and, where possible assess / measure change in organisations of patient / clinician involvement in research prioritisation
