Welcome to the Personal Health Budget Learning Network. This is a place where people who are interested in personal budgets in the NHS can find out about the pilot programme being run by the Department of Health, and find information about learning so far in this area. This network also houses a learning community which is a place where those directly involved in the pilot programme can communicate with each other. The network is run in partnership with In Control.
