CC2H Drop In Sessions Update

We have listened to your comments and feedback about the drop in sessions over the last two weeks and taken on board what you have said. The aim was to keep colleagues involved and informed but we are hearing that the sessions have led to more anxiety rather than the intended reassurance. We are therefore going to bring the drop in sessions to a halt and look at a completely different approach to this taking into account your feedback. We will be looking at how we align these sessions and the transformation work to deliver CC2H through our values; Be caring, Be inspirational and (really important this) Be part of it.


We have an exciting challenge ahead of us as we look to be a first class leader in how community services are delivered but we can only do this if we continue to live our values and work as Team Locala, the same behaviours that resulted in us submitting a fantastic bid and winning. We will therefore be looking to deliver sessions in August and September that focus on our values, vision and behaviours and how we can all get involved and work together to deliver the CC2H model and change in the rest of our organisation so our community can experience the best standards of care possible. Central to this will be our desire and need for all our colleagues to get involved and Be part of it! For example, we are meeting with our Change Agents this afternoon to start looking at how to get some of these conversations started.
 

If anyone would like to provide suggestions about how the new sessions could run or be delivered then please email Natalie.mcmillan@locala.org.uk so we can listen to your views and take them on board.

08/07/2015 Update

Hello all...

Today - the announcement that Locala has been successful in winning the Care Closer to Home bid for Kirklees community based services is made.  I'm delighted, of course, but I'm also desperate to get across a message that we want to work with all our partners to get the delivery of our services right.

Over the last few months I've been quiet on twitter and I haven't blogged.  I've done this on purpose - making sure all our focus has been on the quality of the bid and the plan on how we will deliver change to our services.

So, in this blog, I don't propose to get long winded messages out there, or talk in detail about the changes we want to make. I want to reiterate three things....

1. We've been successful here by being very open that this is a partnership, and our role is to ensure we work with all our partners - GPs, hospitals, social care, mental health. We will get that right and make sure we behave in an open, honest and transparent way throughout.

2. Our people and colleagues are everything to us. Our record of people involvement inside our organisation is excellent - we believe that is we treat our people right they will treat the people and patients they serve right. Our commitment to that remain.

3. We want to be at forefront of change.  The new clinical model and the drive for even better use of technology means we are determined to help lead a period of major change , putting communities, people and patients are at the forefront of everything we do.

So to sum up, we delighted to be the preferred bidder, delighted to prove our partnership credentials and we are to listen and here to act.

Look forward to working with everyone over the next few weeks.

Robert
