 Balance of Care

BoC, UK – http://www.balanceofcare.co.uk/

Balance of Care Group is an unincorporated legal entity. It has been operating as an SME for over 20 years. The two principal consultants are Dr Paul Forte and Mr Tom Bowen, who both have long-term interests, expertise and experience in health and social care planning and management including consultancy, university-level education and training, and EU research.
Balance of Care Group personnel have a wide-ranging experience with over 25 years in health and social care, university teaching, and research fields. Of particular relevance to this bid has been their central role in a Wellcome Trust funded project for development of an online guide for kidney patients and their carers (KPG). This went live in 1998 with a discussion forum from the outset and has since then been a long-standing test bed for exploring patient and carer  engagement as their conditions change over time ? including the practicalities of day-to-day living with kidney disease.
The Balance of Care Group was recently the sole UK consortium partners in the FP7 ?Managed Outcomes? project (2010-2012). This included extensive engagement with clinicians and patient groups in condition-led case studies (including diabetes and dementia).
