Your Health Our Future - Strategic Change Programme
Your Health Our Future was launched in August 2009 to inform and engage with public, partners and our staff in the key challenges facing NHS Borders and provision of local health services. Our particular challenges related to the changing demographics of older people, long term conditions and changing models of care. We talked with over 40 groups and the main themes and feedback of those conversations were encouraging us to address the challenges and to ensure we worked closely with partner agencies, the voluntary sector and patients/families and communities. Feedback on the key themes from this engagement work has been presented to NHS Borders Board and shared with staff, the Public Reference Group, Public Partnership Forum, Public Governance Committee and our Public Involvement Network.
The Strategic Change Programme reflected and reinforced a ‘Case for Change’ which outlined the challenges facing NHS Borders and the reasons for redesigning health services for the long term future of safe, sustainable local services. A number of phases of work have been completed and successfully incorporated into the organisation with the change programme therefore moving into implementation a year ahead of schedule.
