On Tuesday 15 January approximately 80 clinicians from a variety of professions, services and organisations across South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw attended an event aimed at better understanding the role clinical leaders will play in our Integrated Care System (ICS).
The event, badged as a “Clinical Leadership Discovery Day”, was jointly hosted with NHS England and led by South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw ICS Medical Director, Professor Des Breen. He said:
“The interest shown in the day was overwhelmingly positive and gives us a great foundation on which to build as we further develop our plans for involving and engaging clinicians and encouraging multi-professional, multi-level clinical leadership across the system.”
Dr Claire Fuller, the leader of the Surry Heartlands ICS, shared her experience of putting in place similar ways of working in another part of the country and Angela Wood, Chief Nurse from the Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust discussed a positive response to a recently circulated self - assessment survey, outlining our strengths and areas of development so far.
All feedback from the day is being compiled and will be used to develop an action plan which will then be shared with those who attended the event.
