We have been engaging with the public as well as our workforce to understand what they think health and care should look like and how it can best serve them.
We have been working together to establish our priorities and how we deliver on the commitments of the NHS Long Term Plan and add a local focus. We are able to make the following commitments as a partnership:
- People won’t see organisational boundaries – services will be seamless

- People will only need to tell their story once
- People will be empowered to look after their own health
- People will be supported to look after others
- The work environment will be experienced as positive
- Organisational boundaries will not be obstacles to overcome
- Staff health and wellbeing will be well looked after
- Opportunities to develop
- We will transition towards being an Integrated Care System by April 2021
- We will commission with one voice, with one Accountable Officer
- Each of our places will have an integrated provider
- Hospital will work together to deliver services
