| Message from our Executive Medical Director | Dear Colleagues,
Our Integrated Care System (ICS) is built upon the ethos of "Improving Lives Together," and as we continue to embark on this transformative journey, it is essential that we keep our clinical and care professionals informed and engaged.
To assist with this, we are starting a bi-monthly newsletter which we hope will become a valuable and valued resource for staying updated on our progress and upcoming initiatives. It's a platform for us to share our achievements, address challenges, and foster a sense of community among our clinical and care professionals.
I encourage each of you to actively participate, contribute your ideas, and collaborate with fellow professionals. Thank you for your dedication, passion, and hard work. Let's make every month a step closer to realising our goal of improving lives together.
Frankie Swords
Executive Medical Director NHS Norfolk and Waveney | | |
| CCP Manifesto - update | As you may be aware, ICSs are required to develop a Clinical and Care Professional Leadership framework to outline how we will harness the ideas and voice of our CCPs, supporting them to innovate to improve our services and to build diverse and inclusive Clinical and Care professional leadership into decision making across the ICS. As outlined in our Clinical and Care Professional Leadership Manifesto. Here is a summary of each and our progress so far:
#1 You said: The ICB needs to tangibly commit to a clinical and care professional empowerment culture
We did: Listen and take actions some of which are outlined in our first newsletter.
#2 You said: The ICB need to identify resources to support this CCP framework and undertake a baseline survey
We did: Undertake a baseline survey with results being here and follow-up survey. If you wish to be part of the follow-up CCP survey the link can be found here
#3 You said: The ICB need to review its decision-making structures to ensure that there is clear accountability of where, how and by whom decisions are made.
We did: We reviewed our structures in March 2023 and have arranged to repeat this annually.
#4 You said: The ICB should establish a formal CCP Assembly (CCPA) that should reflect the diversity of our CCP community to review and advise on all ICB decisions affecting care at every level (neighborhood, place and system) to provide a coherent and effective CCP voice in shaping ICS strategy and resourcing.
We did: This now runs monthly. More details can be found later in this newsletter.
#5 You said: The ICB need to establish a smaller Clinical and Care Professional Council to lead the coproduction of the CCP framework, strategy, and act as guardian of the empowerment culture we wish to create.
We did: The ToR has been agreed by the People Board and can be found here. It will commence from January 2024.
#6 You said: The ICB needs to continue to have specialist advisory roles to lead on specific areas such as cancer and diabetes,
We did: New CCPL roles have been established appointed for the ICB after competitive interview. See the later section meet our CCPLs
#7 You said: The ICB should invest in short-, medium- and long-term organisational development and education to secure the commitment of all CCPs.
We did: Run a series of masterclasses from September 22 hosted by Mike Farrar. Secured a provider for the Leadership Lunch and Learn sessions, set up a CCPL faculty which anyone is free to join, create a webpage of educational resources. More detail on this will follow in a future message.
#8 You said: The ICB Quality Management team should develop a rolling series of open educational events, to empower all CCPs to use a common QI approach.
We did: The ICB evaluation hub will support CCPs to develop appropriate evaluations before trying new things, and the QM and PMO team will provide practical support with those evaluations - to supercharge innovation to improve our services. A monthly Quality Faculty Meeting has been established to share best practice in Quality Improvement.
#9 You said: The ICB need to work with primary care and practice leadership professionals to keep extending the reach of our CCP community (including AHPs, Pharmacists, Dental and Ophthalmic practitioners, social workers, carers, behaviour specialists and sensory experts)
We did: We have established a CCPL faculty open to all and series of events to increase awareness. More work in this area is underway.
#10 You said: The ICB needs to commit to using a clinical prioritisation process for resource allocation.
We did: This is now in place.

Dr Ardyn Ross | | | Introducing the Head of Innovation | | Dr Tim Clarke has recently joined the ICB as Head of Innovation within the Research & Innovation team, on a 12-month secondment. Tim will work with ICS partners and Health Innovation East (HIE) to develop a strategic framework and more systematic processes for innovation. As part of his role, he will support the system to better identify and prioritise areas of need for innovation, match to innovations, support the system to implement and evaluate innovations and identify potential sources of innovation funding. Tim will also support the system to ensure access to innovation is more equitable and that the impact of innovations is shared across Norfolk and Waveney to support learning, adoption, and spread. It is hoped that Tim will act as a single point of contact for innovation and will work closely with partner organisations to optimise innovation across our system. So, if you have ideas for areas that require innovation, or aware of innovations that have recently been implemented or would just love to get involved in the innovation agenda please do reach out to Tim by email, timothy.clarke9@nhs.net. He would love to hear from you. | | | Leadership Lunch and Learn | |  | As outlined in our Clinical and Care Professional Leadership Manifesto, we are pleased to offer a series of reflective leadership sessions for aspiring and established leaders across our ICS.
