This document summarizes a workshop to map out the existing participation structures within the NHS system in England in order to understand how a new program called NHS Citizen can best operate within that system. The workshop covered introducing participants to the NHS system and network analysis, testing different types of organizations within the system, identifying relationships between organizations, starting to map the system, and next steps.
