The context:
National guidance ‘Building strong integrated care systems everywhere: ICS implementation guidance on effective clinical and care professional leadership’, published in September 2021, identifies two expectations and five core principles for effective clinical and care professional leadership. These are as follows:
National Expectations
- Agree a local framework and plan for clinical and care professional leadership with ICS partners and ensure promotion across the system.
- To ensure leaders from all clinical and care professions are involved and invested in the vision, purpose and work of the ICS
Five principles
- Integrating clinical and care professionals in decision-making at every level of the ICS
- Creating a culture of shared learning, collaboration and innovation, working alongside patients and local communities
- Ensuring our clinical and care professional leaders have appropriate resources to carry out their system role(s)
- Identifying, recruiting and creating a Norfolk and Waveney pipeline of clinical and care professional leaders
- Providing dedicated leadership development for all clinical and care professionals
As a system, Norfolk and Waveney have built on existing foundations to develop our local Clinical and Care Professional Leadership (CCP) Framework, meeting both local needs and national requirements. Our CCP Framework vision is to put CCP leadership at the heart of our discussions at every level of our system so that it becomes integral to our culture and how we work together. Our framework includes our CCP Manifesto, which sets out our 10-point plan for delivery and is intended to help clinical and care colleagues from across the system work together as leaders. Our Framework and Manifesto can be accessed
here.
We would welcome your initial views and experiences of current Clinical and Care Professional leadership and how we may work to deliver the two national expectations and five principles, via the implementation of our new CCP framework.
Responses will remain anonymous. We will be collating responses to this survey and publishing a findings report which will be made available on our website. The survey results will be used to inform further development of our CCP framework and implementation plan.
We intend to create a rolling series of CCP surveys over the coming months and years, as we embed the CCP vision and implement the CCP programme across the Norfolk and Waveney system.
