    • The composition of PCT boards influences service development and innovation.
    • Balancing innovation with performance management is a challenge in public health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the potential of involving clinicians, lay members, and managers in PCT boards.
    • To understand how board composition impacts the creation of innovative healthcare services.
    • To examine the role of strategic health authorities in fostering PCT innovation.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of board composition and its impact on service innovation.
    • Review of policy documents related to PCT governance and strategic health authorities.

  • Case study examples of PCTs with diverse board representation.

    • Main Results:

    • Inclusion of clinicians on boards enhances the acceptability of decisions among frontline staff.
    • Diverse board membership, including lay members and managers, can foster innovative service delivery.
    • Strategic health authorities play a crucial role in either enabling or stifling PCT innovation.

    Conclusions:

    • Diverse governance structures on primary care trust boards are essential for driving service innovation.
    • A supportive, non-controlling approach from strategic health authorities is vital for PCT development.
    • A culture that encourages innovation, rather than solely focusing on performance management, is necessary for PCTs to thrive.
