Prevention at the heart of NHS

“At lunchtime I was in South Shields hearing how patients, the NHS and the council are now coming together to help people to take control of their own health… It’s early days, but if like me, you believe it’s time to get serious about patient power, prevention and community partnerships, you’ll be encouraged by what they’re doing.”

Simon Stevens, Chief Executive, NHS England

Outputs Outcomes Objectives

Outputs, Outcomes, ObjectivesSome are harder than others! Objectives are the methods or the activities by which you plan to achieve your aims.

Outcomes are the changes, benefits, learning or other effects that happen as a result of your work. They can be wanted or unwanted, expected or unexpected. They are often hard to count or prove, and normally rely on an understanding of the initial situation or problem for comparison. For example, the outcomes for users of a refugee centre might include improved English language skills, improved confidence in accessing services and reduced isolation.

Outputs are the tangible products, services or facilities created by your work, and are usually quantifiable. They don’t rely on any knowledge of your ‘starting point’ and instead focus on what happens once you have finished your work. For example, a youth employment programme might get 20 young people into work, provide 600 hours of accredited training, and run five careers fairs.
