NHS Grampian Health and Care Framework: Health Services Fit For the Future

Progress So Far in Developing the Health and Care Framework

Involving staff, the public and partners

We have agreed a plan to ensure staff, the public and our partners have a number and range of opportunities to be involved in the development of the Health and Care Framework.  We are currently implementing this plan.  Click here to read the plan, agreed in November 2010.

Development of the model

A number of clinical groups (which involve staff, members of the public and partners) were asked to advise on what they felt was the ideal model of care for their population group.  We collated this information and produced a proposed model which was challenged and tested by over 40 groups. 

This information was collated and a detailed description of what health and care might look like in 2020 was produced.  This was discussed by around 140 people at a stakeholder event on the 3rd March 2011.

Based on the feedback, the model and description were refined to describe what health and care could look like by 2020 from both the organisation's and a member of the public's perspective.  The Grampian NHS Board approved this on 5th April 2011.  Click here to read the model and description approved by the Board.

As of mid April 2011, we will develop a detailed action plan with staff, the public and partners.  This plan will set out how the model will be implemented over the coming years.

Development of a guide to support difficult decisions and the use of resources

• A group has been set up to oversee this piece of work.  The group is made up of staff and a member of the public.
• Criteria have been developed to support services and the organisation in making difficult decisions and how they will allocate resources.  The criteria were discussed with the NHS Grampian Public Forum in November 2011, and with groups of young people in February 2011.  Click here to read the Engagement Report.
• The criteria and the process for making decisions will continue to be tested by a number of groups during January to September 2011.
