STANDARDISING ACUTE HOSPITAL CARE The creation of “single shared services” for acute hospital services and specialist services to deliver improvements in patient outcomes and productivity through the establishment of consistent and best practice specifications that decrease variation in care and enabled by the standardisation of information management and technology. 3 1 2 TRANSFORMING COMMUNITY BASED CARE & SUPPORT A new model of care closer to home that includes scalable evidence based models for integrated primary, acute, community, mental health and social care. Key features will be targeted case management of the population most in need delivered by upskilled multi- disciplinary teams, together with streamlined discharge planning in order to reduce the demand placed on acute hospitals. RADICAL UPGRADE IN POPULATION HEALTH PREVENTION A shift in focus to population health that supports GM residents to self-manage, innovates the model for prescribers and pharmacies, and tackles the future burden of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. STANDARDISING CLINICAL SUPPORT AND BACK OFFICE SERVICES The transformational delivery of clinical support and back office services at scale across GM, including the establishment of coordination centres to help navigate GM residents through our complex system to the right services. 4 5 ENABLING BETTER CARE The creation of innovative organisation forms, new ways of commissioning, contracting and payment design and standardised information management and technology to incentivise ways of working across GM, so that our ambitious aims can be realised. It describes the application of a radical new landscape of commissioning and provision towards a common purpose to maximise health benefit

Key messages Greater Manchester’s leadership has confirmed its clear support for this direction of travel over recent weeks The transformations build upon and are consistent with the ambitions outlined in Locality Plans The transformation is not achievable purely as a public sector exercise – sustainability confirms the need for Wanless’ fully engaged scenario. These organisations must set a movement for change which will encompass the activity of hundreds of other organisations who can positively impact on the health and wellbeing of the population, through developing a different deal with the GM public to help residents take more control of their lives and improve their health We must explore a new relationship across the statutory and voluntary sector – defined by common purpose and principles of mutuality. The development of that agreement could be supported through the new VCSE Reference Group and the VCS Assembly, connecting to relevant public sector partners.
