About WiPP
The Working in Partnership Programme (WiPP), which was set up in 2004 under the nGMS to support general practice with capacity building resources and strategies, completes its pioneering £11m programme today (30 June 2008). During this time WiPP has delivered on thirteen initiatives, engaged with over 100 NHS pilot sites and created several national senior level steering groups. A wide range of valuable tools and resources have been developed including online training courses, best practice guides, toolkits and frameworks to create capacity and support NHS professionals.
Much of WiPP’s cutting edge work remains at the core of today’s national healthcare agenda and in order to continue to build on what has already been achieved, many of the individual initiatives are being taken forward by other organisations.
The programme was overseen by a multidisciplinary advisory group (WiPPAG ) chaired by Chris Town, with representatives from the Department of Health, the British Medical Association, NHS Direct, the Royal College of Nursing and The Patients Association.
WiPP formally completed on 30th June 2008. This site will remain live until March 2009.
