Quick Start Guide
Three key tools to support you to plan your evaluation.
Tool 1: Top-tips
INVOLVE all key stakeholders and ensure appropriate patient and public involvement
UNDERSTAND the evidence base and how the service will lead to the desired outcomes
SET clear aims and objectives
PLAN your evaluation early and review regularly
SHARE your findings and act on them
Tool 2: Checklist
It is often tempting to launch straight into an evaluation without taking the time to plan first. Planning is a crucial part of the process.
This downloadable checklist has been designed to help with the process of planning your evaluation. It will enable you to become clear about what you intend to do, what data you need to collect and how you will undertake the analysis. Don’t forget to visit our Checklist page for more information.
Tool 3: Evaluation Plan Template – Part A and B
The Evaluation Plan Template is an important document that will guide you through the whole project, and can be referred to for clarification as the project progresses. It helps you to set out the purpose of your evaluation, its aims and objectives, chosen approach, data needs, resources requirements and timescales.
Top Tip
Don’t forget to identify, engage and involve your local experts to help you plan, deliver and disseminate your evaluation.
Implementation of the Forward View should involve a process of discovery and not design. There should be a commitment to real-time evaluation and learning throughout the process
