2. Why do we need a transformation programme?
Changing Demographics – we need to locally address the issue that the number of people over 65 with care needs is projected to increase by 60%
Advances in technology and innovation – we need to develop the skills to lead innovation and adopt new technologies
Social, political, economic and environmental factors – we need to respond to the growing challenge of balancing quality and cost
Patient and staff expectations – we need to understand how expectations are changing and engage in designing a new system together
The 5 Year Forward View made clear that the vision for 2020 is of far more care being delivered closer to home, by multi-professional teams with more generalist skills, able to operate between different care settings and with more specialist colleagues.
This responds to the drivers listed and means that community services will be at the heart of the evolving NHS.

3. Recent research looked at the NHS workforce through a generational lens and developed descriptions for Generations baby boomers, X, Y and Z.
This helps us to understand what factors influence workforce retention in our teams and develop plans for creating an environment which meets the needs of our diverse workforce.
It also provides us with an indication of what our current and future patients will prefer in terms of communication and use of technology.

5. What is the transformation programme?
A large scale programme of improvement led by front line staff
An opportunity for us all to reshape service delivery
Key principles:
Staff wellbeing is paramount
Front line staff have the answers
Small changes make a big impact
Priorities for improvement will be directed by services
Corporate services will support clinicians to test and embed change quickly
The transformation programme is based on a number of key principles centred around enhancing staff wellbeing and experience.

6. Wirral Transformation Model
Our transformation model was developed in consultation with clinical and corporate staff and reflects three elements that need to be in balance if transformation is to be successful.
All transformation projects will therefore consider all elements, with effective staff engagement central to the culture domain.

7. 90 Day Improvement Cycle Phase 1: Scan
Identify the problem and gather all relevant information
Agree aims and objectives
Phase 2: Focus
Test possible solutions in practice
Refine the idea until it meets the aim of the project
Phase 3: Summarise and Disseminate
Report findings
Roll out improvements
To support the programme, we will embed a standardised quality improvement methodology – the 90 day improvement cycle.
This process enables ideas to be developed, tested and rolled out rapidly.

8. In Community Nursing, a team of clinicians has already streamlined the assessment documentation, reducing admin time and releasing several hours a week to care for patients.

These three slides illustrate the journey that our three clinical divisions have been on over the past two years and outlines priorities for the coming year.

12. Structural transformation
Key focus is Estates rationalisation
minimises impact on workforce
supports integration
For 2016/17 we will save: £240k
This equates to eight Band 5 frontline staff
Sustainability of our organisation depends on delivery of excellent patient care as well as maintaining financial balance.
Two ways in which we can achieve the latter are:
1) Implementation of our estates strategy which, if delivered in full, protects 8 frontline posts

13. Agile working Most services now have mobile working kit
enables more flexible working – less reliant on office space
Future of healthcare will rely on better use of IT
Result will be staff working more flexibly to:
meet patients’ individual needs
be less reliant on buildings and premises
2) Full implementation of agile working through use of electronic patient records. This in turn reduces reliance on expensive estates space.
