About us Our Theory of Change The purpose of the Patients Association is to ensure that everybody can access and benefit from the health and care they need to live well, by ensuring that services are designed and delivered through equal partnership with patients. Our strategic focus to 2025 is patient partnership in the design and delivery of health and care services. To help us understand how our work could lead to the outcomes we want to achieve we created a map which is like a step by step plan. This is our Theory of Change. Our Theory of Change helps us figure out what we need to do as an organisation to create the change we want to see (impact) and works as a road map that connects our actions (outputs) to the results we want see (outcomes). By understanding this chain of events, we can make better decisions, allocate resources wisely and track progress effectively. Click here to download a PDF version of our Theory of Change.
