Welcome to the event blog for: Our journey to an Integrated Health & Social Care System, held on Monday 15 May 2017 at The Lowry, Salford Quays.
This learning experience will showcase how we’ve come together as a partnership to improve system outcomes, hosted for staff working in statutory organisations who are working together to design their integrated care journey. In our live event review, see the updates as they happen and catch up with what you may have missed.
You can follow updates from the day on via twitter @SalfordTogether and #SalfordTogether.
The event today will be an interactive learning event with a variety of topics and speakers. Participants are invited today to understand our journey, to celebrate the work so far and set direction for the future.
Jack Sharp, Executive Director of Service Strategy and Development at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust gives our attendees a warm welcome and begins inclusively by reinforcing the aims of Salford Together programme. “It’s very much about sharing our journey.” Jack describes the focus of the programme as establishing integrated care system that is accountable and would be sustainable from clinical, care and financial perspectives. He acknowledges the need for navigation and that there may be “some diversions on the road” but praises the progress that has been made so far by Salford partners.

Karen Proctor, Head of Commissioning at Salford Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), now takes the stage to explain the context around Salford Older People Programmes and Joint Initiatives. Karen describes how “services were fragmented and could be coordinated better.” These findings have led to a wide range of stakeholder engagement that has informed the redesign of services around integrated care.

Jenny Walton, GP Commissioner, talks about how the Salford health economy has taken those learnings and already begun to integrate services to provide ‘the best’ service for the patient. A priority has been the expansion of the Salford integrated record to include mental health and social care which can be accessed by all partners to inform a patient shared care plan.
