Building Health Partnerships: self-care Partnership session 1: 19th October 2017 @IVAR_UK @SocialEnt_UK #BHPselfcare

Local perspectives On the local system… On Self-care… “the aspiration is for better more meaningful relationships locally – and think about what this really means… as well as meaningful relationships with local people.” “the system works in a fragmented way because it’s commissioned in a fragmented way.” “Everyday an older person spends in hospital they loose 5% of muscle!” “You can’t bottle and measure these impacts!” On Self-care… @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare

What do partnerships look like at their best? Respectful, mutual benefit Passionate Work on the ground Clear outcomes and joint monitoring Needs-led not system-led Clear expectations All partners know their and others’ value Trusting, open, honest, collaborative Learning together Strong communication Flexible Sharing knowledge/resources/skills/networks Celebrate success Shared goals and vision Equality Respect and understanding of community Involving residents, co-design Enrich/complement each other/add value Enjoyable relationship Supportive @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare

Local context Where are we heading? Where are we now? Dependency culture, lack of commitment/ambition Lack of funding, austerity Willingness, good ideas and attitude but not able to progress Better involvement of voluntary services Where are we heading? Developing neighbourhood/place approaches Engaged communities Do prevention as well as cure Grant eligibility rules to prevent larger organisation getting all the money Fully integrated services Investment in VCSE sector e.g. training and empowerment What’s working? Good leaders, engaging events Good population plan, a focus on individuals Both informal and formal partnerships e.g. ‘Stronger Together’ work Integrated neighbourhood teams Social Investment Fund What’s not working? Services competing for targets does not encourage collaboration Perception of self-care = ‘get on with it’ National legislation needs to support development/local issues Funding not available to support ideas Lack of funding, austerity, no feedback on unsuccessful applications from CCGs Master-servant commissioning structure Star procurement is a condescending approach to co-creation @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare

Idea under development Services shadow services, buddying to understand and experience what organisations do - seeing/demonstrating the value What do we need to make it happen? Build it into inductions, appraisals as development goals Make them valuable experiences Don’t make confidentiality a barrier, all trained have processes Copy CCG/Council /NHS idea of ‘RCT’ – Randomised Coffee Trials (everybody interested put forward their name and was paired up) Do annually? Skills and capacity Everybody interested puts forwarded their name and us paired up – do this annually Invest time all round Very next steps Everyone in the room to commit to speaking to two other people outside of the meeting Speak to managers, feed the idea back to our organisations @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare
