Welcome to the Health and Social Care Partnership
The Health and Social Care Partnership is an emerging social enterprise. It
brings together health, social care, public health and other local authority
responsibilities to maximise the potential for integrated solutions to improve
community capacity to deliver the new agenda challenges. The Health & Social
Care Partnership is a separate project within Sitra, a long standing voluntary
sector member organisation.
The Partnership focuses on the individual nature of systems and economies,
delivering bespoke support to move further forward with integration and seeks to
generate added value from whole systems.
The Health & Social Care Partnership does this by:
-
Anticipating and proactively working on emerging priorities
-
Disseminating information, good practice and guidance through regular bulletins,
Partnership website,
workshops, networks and events
-
Providing two way communication between the Department of Health and senior
leaders giving access to key
national learning and feedback to the centre
-
Leading, facilitating or supporting integrated projects and resolving issues
specifically commissioned by partners.
The combined whole system partnership will build a work plan to support and
enable learning and development to deliver quality practice across the
localities in the South of England.
Priority Work Areas and the team
The scope of our work will cover strategic cross-cutting themes relating to
health, social care and other support needs. There will be a focus on particular
priority areas including:
-
Health and Wellbeing
-
Personalisation
-
Dementia
-
Carers
However, other emerging priorities require us to be flexible in our use of
resources to anticipate and address new demands.
The Health & Social Care Partnership delivers work through a team of experienced
independent consultants, who have all held senior posts within public sector
organisations. The delivery team are backed by a business unit of staff who have
experience of organising and facilitating complex meetings and events.
The Partnership has a close relationship with the Department of Health (People,
Communities and Local Government), formed as a result of the closure of
the Department of Health Regional Presence team and the South East JIP in March
2011.The Deputy Director for the South of Engalnd has arranged for special
project staff to work as part of the delivery team. These staff will be focused
on DH priorities and support successful locality interactions.
