Now in 2023 our aspiration is to continue to be an organisation that engages with all of those we work alongside, constantly driving improvement and thinking innovatively in supporting our communities and partners in making this happen. We would therefore like to introduce you to ‘Imagining the Future’, our five-year strategy and the next step in our journey to build on the past whilst facing the present challenges we have.
Our strategy has been developed within an ever-changing public sector landscape. Since the national NHS Long Term Plan was published in 2019, we have been working across a wider set of partnerships to lead, support and enable the development of Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) and collaboration at place in support of local communities.
This is a vehicle for NHS organisations like ourselves to work with local councils and other key stakeholders to take collective responsibility for improving the health and wellbeing of the population, co-ordinating services together and managing resources collectively.
As our name suggests, we have long valued the importance of working in partnership. Therefore, we believe that we are in a strong position to meet the objectives set out in this strategy and the overall long-term plan for the NHS and to support wider care-systems, places and communities.
But our work doesn’t stop here – our plans will continue to be shaped and improved by your experiences. To read more about this strategy visit www.cwp.nhs.uk/ITF
Each of us have a voice that matters, and we encourage you to engage in open and honest conversations and be involved in numerous engagement plans across CWP. We are here to listen to you. By working together and supporting each other, we can all contribute to making CWP a great place.
