2. Difficult times…?
The financial challenge is with us for the foreseeable future
Population demographics are changing
Long term conditions alone consume 70% of the total health and social care spend in England
Currently using 72% of inpatient beds
Taking up 68% of out patient appointments
55% of GP appointments
Public expectations are changing

3. A recognition the system is failing…
The Francis Report into Mid Staffs
Health inequalities
Social determinants of health (Marmot)
A workforce under stress (Boorman)

4. Oh and by the way…
Major structural reorganisation

5. To survive and thrive Need for service redesign
Deliver at increased scale
With enhanced quality
Need for a paradigm shift
Wellness not illness
Patients take responsibility for their own health
Patients control the wellness process
Transformational change not simple transactional change

6. Transformational change
People drivers
How people work
Skill mix
Workforce considerations
Financial drivers
How outcomes are commissioned
Technology and process drivers

7. AHPs leading transformational change
Engage with
Patients
Your commissioners
Your politicians
Be professional
And do it now…
