A few interesting propositions have come about as a result of my application for a Personal Health Budget (PHB).
The first was participating in the Derbyshire PHB Peer Network. Off the back of this I applied for the NHS National PHB Leadership Academy. I was supposed to go for an interview this week as the final part of the process, but was really excited to receive a call today from a lovely lady called Rita from People Hub inviting me to join on the strength of my written application alone.

I spoke to the Commissioning Manager about this and she added that she would like to record a video of me for the Derbyshire website, which be another great piece to participate in.
