Why do we need a transformation programme?

• Changing Demographics – we need to locally address the issue that the number of people over 65 with care needs is projected to increase by 60%

• Advances in technology and innovation – we need to develop the skills to lead innovation and adopt new technologies

• Social, political, economic and environmental factors – we need to respond to the growing challenge of balancing quality and cost

• Patient and staff expectations – we need to understand how expectations are changing and engage in designing a new system together

What is the transformation programme?

• A large scale programme of improvement led by front line staff• An opportunity for us all to reshape service delivery

Key principles:

• Staff wellbeing is paramount

• Front line staff have the answers

• Small changes make a big impact

• Priorities for improvement will be directed by services

• Corporate services will support clinicians to test and embed change quickly
