This priority is about providing the highest quality clinical services when people need them. Over the next five years, Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK) will be running a programme to develop and implement a leadership model that supports our health professionals at place, neighbourhood and organisation to deliver better outcomes for our patients.
A local framework and plan are being developed with Integrated Care System (ICS) partners, and we are promoting this across the system via a series of stakeholder events, clinical and care professional engagement conversations, and patient and local community engagement.
Our aims
The aim of this strategy will be to:
- integrate clinical and care professionals in decision making at every level of BLMK ICS
- create a culture of shared learning, collaboration and innovation – working alongside patients and local communities
- ensure clinical and care professional leaders have appropriate resources to carry out their system role(s)
- provide dedicated leadership development for all clinical and care professional leaders
- identify, recruit and create a pipeline of clinical and care professional leaders.
Each organisation within BLMK ICS has its own Clinical Services Strategy. We are also developing a local framework for future service model development, to inform what services will be delivered where. The framework will drive service reviews across the health and care system – supporting professionals across the system to work side by side.
