2. So what’s with the new name?
Grant funders saw us as old fashioned and just providing infrastructure so didn’t want to invest
Went through a review of why we existed and what difference we wanted to make to the local community across Glossopdale

Used our reserves to help transform

Reduce inappropriate referrals to ASC
Speed up the rate of discharge from hospital
Reduce unplanned hospital admissions
Need a new language to describe what we do
Need to understand our unit cost
Need to track back to effective preventative interventions
Need to promote what is already available in Glossop
